      It’s a tradition at this point. If you post an infographic about unix/linux system folders, you’re obliged to avoid all modern sources. Preferably, you would use material that is at least 20 years old.

    WTF, for the past 25 years, I thought /usr was short for /user, partially because of FreeBSDs preference for having user homes in /usr/home/*

    So where am i supposed to mount my permanent other file systems?

    I used to mount them to home, after realizing how much headache that was causing i moved them to mnt. Surely that makes the most sense?

      I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.

      Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.

        Yup, that’s what I do too. Mine are mounted to /media/user/ by default.

      /mnt is reasonable and normal. I have used /mnt, /data, /media for various hardware and software mounted storage. It really doesn’t matter unless you’re dealing with some specific software or organization with esoteric requirements.

      /mnt or /media usually. I use /mnt for permanent filesystems and /media for removable ones but there are no hard rules. My home folder is a separate filesystem from my rootfs, just depends on how you want things setup.

    What’s the difference between run time program data and temporary files? Is /tmp just for system level processes but not for user space?
