Explanation please

[-] Samueru@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

In the old days distros used to separate the location of binaries in several places like /bin /sbin /usr/bin and /usr/sbin there was this idea that system binaries would go in /sbin while the rest in /bin and the similar dirs in /usr were so that you could mount a separate drive to store more binaries. This is from a time where storage was an issue.

These days distros usually just symlink all those locations to /usr/bin with the exception of fedora, which still keeps some split.

However it seems they will finally merge the remaining dirs in fedora 41: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin

Interesting! This sounds actually useful for transparency, but fine?

    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
