Files in the Linux ecosystem are a mess. Files scattered everywhere and each instance of Linux uses some different arbitrary directory scheme. We really need a reboot. New micro kernel based OS with clear directory logic and dedicated directories for applications to keep stuff.

Files everywhere are a mess. Windows, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, HP-UX, VMS, CP/CMS. Every corporate network share I’ve ever seen has been a dumpster fire.

There are actually consultants who advise organisations on cleaning up their file systems.

I thought /opt was for fully self-contained applications. Sort of prehistoric version of snaps.

Or /var ?
