Standard Linux directories are part of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and include the following:
- / - Root directory, the top of the filesystem hierarchy.
- /bin - Essential user binaries (commands).
- /boot - Static files for boot loader.
- /dev - Device files.
- /etc - Configuration files.
- /home - User home directories.
- /lib - Essential shared libraries and kernel modules.
- /media - Mount point for removable media (e.g., USB drives).
- /mnt - Mount point for temporarily mounted filesystems.
- /opt - Add-on application software packages.
- /proc - Virtual filesystem providing process and kernel information.
- /root - Home directory for the root user.
- /sbin - System binaries (administrative commands).
- /srv - Data for services provided by the system.
- /sys - Interface to the kernel.
- /tmp - Temporary files.
- /usr - User programs and data.
- /var - Variable data files, such as logs and databases.
These directories help organize files and provide a standard structure for Linux systems.
