Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:30:20 +0000

Description:
The future of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) has been under 
discussion for some time; now,
Neal Gompa has announced that the FHS is " hosted and stewarded " by 
Freedesktop.org. For those who are unaware, the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 
(FHS)
	is the definition for POSIX operating systems to organize system
	and user data. It is broadly adopted by Linux, BSD, and other
	operating systems that follow POSIX-like conventions. See this
page for the specification's new home.
