💻 Understanding the Linux filesystem hierarchy
💫 Linux File System, the backbone of how Linux manages data, configurations, binaries, logs, and user environments.
💫 I explored the purpose of key directories like /etc, /usr, /var, /home, /bin, /sbin, /tmp, and understood how Linux keeps everything organized under a unified hierarchy starting from /.
✅ How Linux organizes files and directories, making system management structured
🔹 / – Root of the entire filesystem
🔹 /root – Home directory of the superuser
🔹 /etc – System-wide configuration files
🔹 /boot – Kernel and bootloader files
🔹 /home – User home directories
🔹 /mnt – Temporary mount point for filesystems
🔹 /proc – Virtual filesystem showing kernel & process info
🔹 /srv - service data
🔹 /dev – Device files
🔹 /bin & /sbin – Essential system executables
🔹 /lib – Shared libraries
🔹 /usr – User applications, binaries, and libraries
