Gobolinux has been trying to redefine and simplify the linux filesystem for a long time already, but no one gives it a chance
Yeah it’s obviously an improvement but I guess you can’t really sell a distro on “it has a more logical filesystem layout which may cause some issues, and it’s super super niche which will definitely cause some issues”.
Probably a lost cause. I imagine Flatpak will actually work properly before the Unix filesystem hierarchy is made sane.
@FizzyOrange @morto #nix and #guix do exactly this. It is 2025.
Love Osnews. Been reading since the 00’s.
This is a dumb explanation and take by somebody who is stuck in their ways, and refuses to understand modern permissions systems.
The location of a binary executable matters less now than ever, and it’s location on the filesystem doesn’t matter whatsoever. It’s up to whomever packages and nothing more. As long as it’s documented, it doesn’t matter.
Your animosity is perplexing given that the article agrees with you; it even ends with:
Anyway, these are good moves, and I’m glad most prominent Linux distributions are not married to decisions made in the ’70s, especially not when they can be undone without users really noticing anything.
…and the rest of it?
Also…do you know what the word “animosity” means? This ain’t that.
…the rest of it explains the context, and then briefly says that some people will disagree with the decision, but those people should just use a different distro. What are you complaining about?
