The Directory Structure of Linux

  • home: This directory stores the home directories of ordinary users. In Linux, each user has their own directory, which generally corresponds to the user’s account commands.

  • etc: This directory contains all the configuration files and subdirectories needed for system management.

  • usr: This is a very important directory where many user applications and files are stored, similar to the Program Files directory in Windows.

  • opt: This directory is used for additional software installations on the host, such as database installations; it is empty by default and contains installation packages.

  • usr/local: This is another directory for additional software installations on the host, typically for programs installed from source code compilation.

  • var: This directory stores items that are constantly expanding, and it is customary to place frequently modified directories here, including various log files.
