Hey, I’ve recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?

I updated the poster: https://whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X use the link to see online.

    tbh I don’t think it matters, so wherever you feel like doing it. I just leave it where the distro or file manager defaults to: in Ubuntu-based distros that’s /media/$USER/mount-name. For mounts shared across users you could drop the $USER.

    Since FHS doesn’t specify where “non-removable media” should go, I don’t think it makes sense to adopt this recommendation as “/media should be removable”, but rather, “in case the media IS removable, then mount it to /media/”.
