Why do we still do that /usr thing but then not /usr/maggie if we do multiuser? And why are there user binaries but they belong to root?
Ah, no, it's in /home/maggie/.local/bin, silly. Except logfiles are state files now and there's no log rotation until you edit a /etc config via root.
I do think we can do better.

That's sorta what you get with decades of janky adaptations to not break old applications while also adding stuff that will be useful to newer applications. A whole lotta jank.
I agree it could perhaps be more orderly, but hey, as long as it works...
(EDIT: Although apparently /usr/ means Unix System Resources????? Idk, I don't trust ddg THAT much)

I spend a lot of time in /tmp sending temporary output to files and testing commands when building shell scripts. It's appropriate that a long-haired fluffer butt lives there because that's been most of my cats through the years.

Who puts /etc on a separate drive?
Everything in its right place
