Linux Directories Explained in 100 Seconds

This video went a little long, use the timestamps to skip the directories you already know

this video is so informative

Arrechisimo!! 🔥

Respect

Your emphasis on using the command line is what scares most people off of Linux. I'm running Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. If I want to see the contents of all the directories, I can just use Nemo.

Can we get the MacOS Unix file system, please?

Is the video at 2x speed?

Yeah, taking a red hat class right now and this legit summarized that chapter like a beast—Professor Fireship over here.

God bless you !

This is an excellent brief overview that for me made stuff I'm only somewhat familiar with crystal-clear instantly! Great job.

bro is using vscode with wsl

Soydev

USR means Unix System Resources, not User, k no?

Who else paused to replay that magic trick in the /proc dir part

Missing /mnt

someone upoad the text of this video with clean voiceover without the shitty music

Been using this (or the macOS version) for years and years and never really stopped to think about what the directories actually stand for. Great explanation!

is anyone more confused after this then to begin with?

your not alone, just new

Unix filesystem layout has more post hoc rationalizations than some failed doomsday prophecies.

what about /run?

Like how you call the tilde the squiggly line.

/opt is used quite a bit

And there is NixOS, lol

Man taught me this stuff in 100 seconds which took my college teacher 2 weeks

/proc is not "prok". It is "pros". Based on "process".

What does it mean if a folder/directory is highlighted in green and the name of it is in green text?

/sys 😓

This was great, but I was hoping to see what folders are used by best practice for typical app deployments? Everyone build Docker containers nowadays. Let’s say you’re building a web app image for a node service. Where “should” you be placing your apps?

This is so good!

Cuda in 100 seconds (if such a thing is possible!) would be great!

You are GOATED for doing this video. I cannot express the true joy I have rn after watching few videos before this one that couldn't express the things you taught in 100 seconds in a timespan more than 15 minutes.

Let's be honest, this is a mess. But compared to MS Windows it is better organized. So I guess we can say this is humanity's best file structure... Which is a bit depressing the more I think about it but 🤷‍♂️

I haven't seen an /sbin directory in ages, though I assume that is going to depend on the family of distribution (i.e. Arch/Debian/RHEL/etc -based).

/boot is being replaced with /efi as time goes on.

<3

wow

I kinda wish that the user's /bin and /sbin directories were renamed to /ubin and /usysbin, respectively. And instead of /sbin, it was /sysbin

Little things like this would make my brain work faster with Linux.

I've learned in 100 seconds what I didn't in two years.

Really appreciate you taking the time to explain this!

that was gr8

there's 3 bin folders... wtf....

Great explanation

😮 amazing

Hmm is it just me or is 100 secomds somewhat odd since time is not decimal, we end up with 1 minute anf 40 secomds or 1.66 minutes, houw did you arive at 100 seconds?

I have neither a /home/alice nor a /home/bob

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Really is going to help me out with some of the terminal basics.

nice introduction.

I've been running Linux since MEPIS 11 was a current distro -- currently Kubuntu 22.04 -- and never seen a good explanation of what all those folders under / were for. You made it make sense in less than three minutes.

Awesome job!!!!

Wow, super video, brief and to the point, thank you!
