Ubuntu

name of 'ubuntu one' folder

Asked by tenzu

It is a suggestion actually. And I submit it on behalf of my friend.

He said, after the installation of Ubuntu, there is a folder named 'Ubuntu One'. Since the linux system is capital sensitive, it is better that the space is replaced by an underline or just remove the space. The name of the folder can also be 'Uone', 'uONE', or 'UONE'.

The following is the original words of my friend.

个人看法，觉得Ubuntu安装后，在主目录下生成Ubuntu One的文件夹中间有个空格，给人的感觉很不好。
建议去掉空格，或用下划线代替它。
因为Linux系统本身就是大小写敏感的。或者用下划线分隔名称也是符合Linux用户命名文件的习惯。
当然，用Uone或uONE 或UONE。

Those suggestions are certainly easier to type, but, for a less experienced user looking for an Ubuntu One folder, a folder actually called "Ubuntu One" is more readily found and understood.

That doesn't mean you can't have it your way too: you can always create a symlink with your own name for the folder.
Open a terminal, and type:
cd ~
ln -s 'Ubuntu One' uONE

Obviously, replace uONE with whatever your preferred name for the folder is.

Ordinarily, I'd also suggest hiding the original with:
echo 'Ubuntu One' >> .hidden
typed in the Terminal, but that doesn't appear to work for this special folder
