How do I change the Drupal 8 frontpage template, so it doesn't use the regular page.html.twig template?
Enable twig_debug and you will see HTML comments surrounding the output that tell you what template suggestions are available. In this case you will get output like:
<!-- THEME DEBUG -->
<!-- THEME HOOK: 'page' -->
<!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS:
* page--front.html.twig
* page--node.html.twig
x page.html.twig
-->
<!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/page.html.twig' -->
Naming your template page--front.html.twig will use that template for only the homepage.

how does this work with subfolders? E.g. having a folder

@ferdynator it works just fine, you can add subfolders to organize your templates.– CottserSep 16 '15 at 19:32

views-view--frontpage.html.twigfile. Following that patterns, it's possible that the the correct template name would befrontpage.html.twig. You might want to try. Other templates in core are named with a - separating their name frompage, so perhapsfront-page.html.twig?
