Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

You should never be expected to edit anything in /usr, /opt or /var. That's highly unusual. For which software did you have to do this?
Brother scanner utilities:
/opt
Pretty sure I had to change something in/usr
once, but I forgot what. Now,/var
would be very unusual. But most of the time, all the configuration files happen to be somewhere in/etc
.Docker on RHEL saves everything in /var/lib, for example. Tenable and Nessus stick it in /opt. I'm currently doing a rhel7->8 upgrade, and that shit gets stuck everywhere.
But, I also have issues on my Pis. For a lot of the packages I use, I'm lucky if they actually put their .service file in /etc/systemd. Having to run a find / command on a pi can take forever.
