LoL my current Gentoo system was installed like 12 years ago and moved on 5 different hardware platforms without a proper reinstall.
I have said myself to never peek in the /etc directory for any reason! ๐
I know a little linux, but obviously I'm still learning. I've picked up everything I know on my own, for the most part - internet guides from the linux community tend to be pretty solid, and I know enough to not totally FUBAR my system.
Is there a listing of standard linux directories and what they're for? Lite /etc, things like that. Because I seem to find bits of different stuff in a variety of directories.
I've recently moved to linux on my gaming rig, which is my daily driver - that being said, it is mainly for gaming. Anything can surf the web or play videos and shit, for the most part.
Most distros follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Thanks for this. New linux user and this helped me understand a bit better why files go where they go.
No problemo
How does your home directory look?
Who cares with storage nowadays? I just use filelight or command line based tools to determine big storage hogs when I need to
I just mean, do you ever get scared of showing hidden files in your hone directory? My install isn't even a year old, and I do.
I just scroll past those. I have set my XDG dirs which helps. If I were to reinstall it would be back once I have everything I need
