I'm sorry I can't tell you why that is happening, but I can assure you that it is not because of btrfs. Btrfs does not have any reserved filenames, and since home folders depend on your username it would definitely not know when to create the synlinks if it was meant to.
I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It's just weird.
I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.
Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it's not that bad.
That's really weird. So far it hasn't happened to me on fedora on my laptop or desktop so I don't think it's btrfs but I'll test it out with a fresh install of both fedora and nix to see what happens

Shit, just linux.
Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
