    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.
