From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, you put the app in /opt, no not in /bin or /usr/bin

I rarely spot /srv in the wild.

I use /data for local server data.

Pretty sure openmediavault uses it, but that's the only one I've seen

it usually seems more like whatever distro doing things however they want rather than following any standard

[–] Skydancer@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Don't forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)

FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age
