For the issue finding certain folders have you turned on show hidden files? The .local file is generally where a lot of that stuff is held but it's generally hidden by default to prevent the home directory from looking bloated.
Oh no I'm not the person who runs the blog. I just saw it posted on the Tumblr Linux community and wanted to repost it here. Happy to share it ofc! 😄
Looks great! Love the icons and the cute background photo! Big fan!
