Funny how the DOS equivalent of ls is dir, so before the GUI folder metaphor.

Don't forget cd.
I switched to Linux only about a year ago. I frequently called them directories even in Windows. I sometimes use folder too, but usually directory I think.
Oddly enough this made me realise I solely use directory for windows, I think cause windows uses dir instead of ls and cd is used in both lmao
it's directory, if you refer to it in a cli context and folder if you refer to it in a gui context
