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?

I updated the poster: https://whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X use the link to see online.

    how is /usr/local local and not system-wide? i though it was for programs you compiled yourself?

      “Local” in this context means local to this whole machine. From the perspective of a single user, it’s system-wide. But then from the perspective of a sysadmin managing dozens of such systems, it’s local.

      Many FHS things don’t make much sense for single-user (human user) systems on modern hardware. /usr/local does though. It’s for you (as admin) to install software that doesn’t come with the os.
