Remeber, the more boxes you have, the more advanced you are as an admin! Once you do his job for money, the challenge is the exact opposite. The less parts you have, the better. The more vanilla they are, the better.

I think the FHS doesn’t really tell you where. In the end you can out them wherever you want as long there is no conflict with the FHS. Even /mnt/something seems fine. Just not really recommended.

I added icons and corrected some things.

Added!

The colors are confusing. I meant to mark /home as non-standard since it’s not mandated by the FHS.

The FHS doesn’t specifically mention the config of webservices but /srv seems good to me. Read https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html for more info.

Edit: Changed colors

Yes, it is. FHS stands for Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

I think because they want to have files from different packages separate and easily addable and removable using symlinks.

Also some things in the FHS make no sense for modern computers where storage is cheap and system storage is rarely shared amongst systems. The same applies for single-users/desktop machines. But it’s the only standard we have so, why not keep it for now.

Sure, that formulation was not very good. But you get the idea. There is not only the “western” social media world. But what does it look like? I have no clue about what people use in Africa for example.

Thanks for the information!

I would have loved to see the parts that are not under the US-American influence. What are Asian, African or South Americans using?
