Folders vs directories

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Why would someone call this "boot folder" when Unixes has no such notion? Folders are desktop lingo from other operating systems, but it doesn't exist as a Unix filesystem object. And FHS most definitely doesn't call /boot (or any other directory) a "folder". So, if nobody objects or provides compelling evidence to the contrary, I'll rename the article accordingly. I must also check if some other Unix-like OSes use the directory or is this Linux-only thing. Arny (talk) 07:35, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
