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.

    Damn that’s some great work ! When I started linux I wish I had found such ressources, I was really curious what each of these directories were for.

    Would you mind if your material was reused (with credit) for education purposes ?

      The FHS was started in 1994 and is free to use. It should be used now by all major Linux systems and most Unix too.

      The only credit is to the Linux Foundation.

        But $vendor, which supplies $application, doesn’t give a flying fuck about this. I’ve seen binaries in /etc/opt/$application or something like that.

    Great but what I’m missing is the information that “usr” does not stand for “user”, like many people think or even say. If it would the name could actually be “user” and not “usr”.

    The chart actually does not say what exactly it stands for. It’s “user resources” AFAIK.

    It’s worth clearing this up in my opinion.
