Ever wondered where your files live in Linux? 
Here’s a quick breakdown of the Linux Directory Tree
/ → Root (everything starts here)
/boot → Boot files (kernel, grub)
/etc → System config (like settings)
/home → User files (your personal space)
/lib → System libraries
/var → Logs, cache, mail & more
/usr → User programs (bin, lib, share, local)
/tmp → Temporary files (auto-clears)
/media → USB, CDs auto-mounted
/mnt → Manual mount point
/opt → Optional software
/sbin → System admin tools
Everything connects back to / - the ROOT.
Once you understand this structure, Linux feels much easier to explore and manage!
