Linux

I have always wondered why there was a developer folder(/dev)

Now i know that the government is trying to make people think it stands for something else so they can replace all programmers with advanced random number generators

Why is /mnt a "temporary" mounting point? I alwags put my permanent ones there. I'd say /media is temporary...

So where are programs installed?

I was playing with Linux the other day and installed something and was tearing my hair out trying to find where the exe or whatever was to launch the damn program.

None of the folders made any sense to me.

I need to get this in sticker form

Thank you for that, I always wondered about the meaning behind a few of these directories.

Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I'll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

immuatables be all about /var

For many systems out there, /bin and /lib are no longer a thing. Instead, they are just a link to /usr/bin and /usr/lib. And for some systems even /sbin has been merged with /bin (in turn linked to /usr/bin).
