Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Reference Poster / Cheatsheet [Dark mode in details]
Hey, I've recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?
then the legend should be fixed its confusing, as is the whole idea of FHS is outdated and a chore for new users to get into (i still don't fully understand it)
difference between /media and /mnt
wtf is /run? some glorified /temp?
/usr/sbin "non vital system binaries" ... aha ok, whatever don't tell me you understand the difference between 6 (SIX !) differen bin/sbin folders
As for the rest, yes, the FHS can be confusing. It's from a time where mostly professional admins would deal with it and requirements were pretty different from today's end-user systems. If you want to understand more, I urge you to read the spec. It's highly readable! https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs.html
/mnt is for more permanent stuff. /run is for shit like a USB drive some user has connected. It's the place that most distro automount your attached storage by default (/run/$USER/$DEVICE/)
