Hey, I’ve recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?
I updated the poster: https://whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X use the link to see online.

We need something like this for home, I hate that programs like steam and firefox place themselves directly into home instead of ~/.config and ~/.llocal.
I even move my personal themes to /usr/share/themes because not everything works with ~/.local/share/themes and needs a ~/themes directory instead.
My personal pet peeve is that Firefox profiles are in
~/.mozilla/firefox
and Thunderbird profiles are in~/.thunderbird
.If your flagship product creates a folder named after your company, why not use it for all software by your company???
Thunderbird isn’t really developed by Mozilla any more. It’s owned by a subsidiary of Mozilla and is mostly community-run.

Thanks, I just went down this rabbit hole and discovered xdg ninja and managed to clean most of my home, I even found a useful script that launches steam on a fake home directory on .local.
Uhh, very nice. I didn’t know about xdg-ninja.
