Fedora 42 Cosmic Atomic No folders in Home

F42 Cosmic iso doesn't create the default user directories

Problem If you run a live-session using Fedora-COSMIC-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso and install it to disk, you end up with a system without the default users directories (Downloads, Music, Video…). [Screenshot_20250414_133110] Cause This is the result of not having the package xdg-user-dirs installed (its not present at the live-iso and its not installed at the fresh installed system either). Related Issues Bugzilla report: #2359532 Workarounds Just installing the package and rebooting the system…

Try:

sudo dnf install xdg-user-dirs

xdg-user-dirs-update --force
