i renamed my home folders to dl, docs, pics, etc. and use auto-cd (whatever its called) to just type dl instead of cd dl
You could just use aliases in your bashrc
alias dl=cd ~/Downloads
Might need quotes around the command.

There are two Linux paradigms that I consider stupid. One is the use of centralized software repositories managed by the distro instead of individual developer maintained installers. The other one is file system case sensibility. They already admitted defeat on the first one with the rise of containerised applications. I wonder how much longer they'll keep the charade on the second one.
I have a third one for you. Not being able to pick where things install. Everything installs to the os disk. Terrible idea.

Here's how to fix this[+]
Create $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs with
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
You may need to logout/in for things to reread this file.
The full list of keys is:
- XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
- XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
- XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
- XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR
- XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
- XDG_MUSIC_DIR
- XDG_PICTURES_DIR
- XDG_VIDEOS_DIR
+: Since this is Linux, this is a fix for many but not all cases.
