From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me:

My strange sorting

Git: for git stuff
Distrobox (home dirs separated with --home to prevent dotfile conflicts)
- build (and also apps)
- tests
Downloads: for chaos
- many subdirs
Backups
- Laptop
- Phone
  - SYNC (complete dir with syncthing, I put as much stuff there as possible)
  - Pictures, Music, Downloads (because Android sucks, also synced with syncthing)
TOPICS
- Personal
- Hobby 1, 2, 3
- Movie Torrents
- ...
- Work
  - Seminars
  - Documents
- Study
  - EBooks
- Tech
  - Distros (ISOs)
  - Commands
  - Guides
  - Packages
    - Appimages
    - Windows
    - RPMs
      - packages
      - spec files
  - General
    - Documents
    - living stuff

Works pretty well. I symlink lots of stuff, especially the synced phone directories. I keep some pictures local, some synced etc.
