Welcome to the fourth session of the Arch Linux gathering! 🐧 In this session, we dive deep into the heart of the Linux operating system to understand the Linux File System Hierarchy. If you are wondering where programs are installed? Where are system settings saved? And what is the difference between directories like /bin and /sbin or /usr and /opt? Then this video is your comprehensive guide.

Understanding system paths is the key to mastering Linux (whether you use Arch or any other distribution), giving you full control over your machine away from the chaos of closed systems.

📍 In this video we discussed:
• A complete breakdown of the Root Directory ( / ).
• Core system paths and boot files (Boot & Kernels).
• Where user files, logs, and configurations (/etc) are kept.
• A look at pseudo-filesystems that interact directly with hardware like /dev and /sys.
