📘 System

In a Linux system, the file system is organized into a hierarchical structure, starting with the root directory (represented by a forward slash /). The root directory contains several subdirectories, including /bin, /etc, /home, /lib, /media, /mnt, /opt, /sbin, /tmp, and /usr.


These directories contain system executables, configuration files, user home directories, libraries, removable media, mount points, optional software, system executables, temporary files, and shared software, respectively.

Other directories, such as /dev, /proc, and /sys, contain special files that provide access to hardware devices and kernel information.
