The Linux directory structure is organized as a hierarchical tree, starting at the root
directory "/". The root directory is the top-level directory and all other directories and
files are located within it or its subdirectories. Here is a brief overview of the main
directories and their purposes:

/bin: contains essential binary files and commands required for the system to run, such
as ls, cp, and mv.

/boot: contains the files required for booting the system, including the kernel,
bootloader configuration, and initial RAM filesystem.

/dev: contains device files for hardware devices such as hard disks, USB devices, and
serial ports.

/etc: contains system configuration files, including network settings, user accounts, and
system services.

/home: contains the home directories for each user on the system.

/lib: contains shared libraries required by the system and other programs.

/media: contains mount points for removable media such as USB drives and CDs.

/mnt: used as a mount point for temporary file systems, such as network file systems
and other file systems mounted temporarily.

/opt: contains optional software packages that are not part of the core system.

/proc: provides information about running processes and system status as virtual files.

/root: the home directory for the root user.


/run: contains system state information that is created and destroyed during boot and
shutdown.

/sbin: contains system binaries and commands required for system administration,
such as shutdown and reboot.

/srv: contains data for services provided by the system.

/sys: contains information about hardware devices and their drivers as virtual files.

/tmp: contains temporary files created by the system and users.

/usr: contains the majority of the user and system applications, libraries, and data files.

/var: contains variable files that change as the system runs, such as log files, mail
spools, and print queues.

This directory structure is standardized by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and
helps ensure consistency and compatibility across Linux systems.
