/bin confused me for a while because I thought it meant 'this stuff is trash, don't worry about it'.
If my /bin contains exe files, something has gone very wrong somewhere...
Also, all these infographics are a sad casualty of the /usr/bin merge.
Linux file system is ext* tho.
Why is /mnt a "temporary" mounting point? I alwags put my permanent ones there. I'd say /media is temporary...
Is it just me, or are the definitions for /sys and /proc mixed up?
Nah, it's just that /proc is incorrect - it contains information about running processes, as well as kernel data structures as visible by the process reading them.
huh... an exe in my /bin ?
sus...
I've been using Linux on and off for years and I've never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don't know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I'm looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I'm also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would've expected these to be in /mnt.
wow i have needed this forever and im printing it and pinning it to my wall
A blast from the past!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
