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.

I don’t understand the ambiguity of where to put your projects.
I’ve typically always put things under /opt/ TIL /etc/opt was where the config should go.
Depends on the scope of your project. But if they are services for example or you want them to be run by different users on the system, you could either use /opt or /usr/local. There is some discussion about which is better or how to choose: eg. https://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/pointcounterpoint-opt-vs-usrlocal . The FHS is mostly relevant when packaging your software though.
Less relevant with Docker or FlatPaks though right?
I’m not into those since they just shift the complexity. People should learn how to package things and just do it. Ok, documentation on making dpkgs is pretty tough to understand and confusing.
But yeah, I guess with docker it’s complete anarchy ( the bad kind of)
