File System Layouts in Linux | Into the Terminal 94

Dive deep into the heart of Linux with our latest episode of “Into the Terminal” as we study the Linux Filesystem, driven by the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) to empower you with the knowledge to navigate the Linux landscape like a pro.

Ever wonder what goes into different Linux directories? What is /root and how is that different than /home? What’s this /proc thing? We’ll start the episode tackling these questions, then move into some tools you can use to identify what backing storage devices are used for these different directories on your machine.

Save the date, set a reminder, and let’s venture “Into the Terminal” together!
