? Do you really need folders !?
! if you remove the folders; You don't have to generate unnecessary data to recreate 1000's of folders.
and also virtual file links, ie symbolic links, will not be needed for virtual directory access.
the solution is actually that simple; there is actually nothing more than a ram disk package content produced from read-only content!

File names can be updated if necessary to avoid confusion,
but this will be a more efficient way than generating a folder or virtual link link. :)

only ; Imagine all the (system) files being in just one folder, everything together. :) that is all.

yes that could bring some radical changes,
but there is no progress without change.

--- Quote ---Everything is a File

One of the unique things about Unix as an operating system is that regards everything as a file. Files can be divided into three categories; ordinary or plain files, directories, and special or device files.
--- End quote ---

folder paradox !!?

human as system user; visually, they can see what they are looking for more easily with the concept of folder, or find them hypothetically. or uses search commands.

If it finds it with the search command, a "folder concept" visual folder will be meaningless content.

and more no matter what operating system it is.
in file system format; even a file without a folder; regardless of which directory it is in. puts it in a firist list that classifies file properties.

To sum up
folders; It was created with the idea of ​​providing easy access;
but it produces unnecessary road paths,
and folder structures generate redundant data.

and other problems it creates
"symbolic link" virtual folder redirectors
"symbolic link" virtual file redirectors

In summary, here, the understanding of generating 1 solution creates 3 different unnecessary resource consuming problems with itself.

Of course, the folders to be created by the end user must be some kind of personal preferences.

the solution is extremely simple, yet radical at the same time.
this solution is that simple; It is possible with a solution that will break the routine of those who have memorized unix and its derivatives for years.

what about the security standards !?

Since the access of a folder and the access of a file depend on the same structure, there is actually no situation that can create any change.

I am not a ruling king here.
I just want to identify what makes sense and show it to everyone.
maybe in this forum my suggestion is really taken seriously.
or is not taken seriously or has someone thinking of doing their own independent distribution in the future perhaps someday
with a truly independent mindset ; They can try what previous linux developers feared to experience.

technical only problem!
transferring all folders and virtual file links that the end user will not personalize to the base directory
basic structural address search of all existing files
This is a problem with virtual directory folders that are redirected to the home directory instead of the folders that actually exist! it can reduce 99% of the resource consumption.

like this 2nd renaissance.

Thank you for listening to my ideas and thoughts and spending time on it.

nick65go:
To implement new concepts, it needs agreement and WORK.
MS Windows NT has cut the link with MS windows 98 because MS DOS bloat back-COMPATIBILITY draging it down.Same is for Linux. We need modern applications (not using hard-core links into former /urs/bin etc, just use one /folder). It can be done but it depends on UPSTREAM developers of applications (libreoffice, vlc, firefox etc).

A system without applications is as useless as a library without books.
Then it is "time is money" concept, so "if it is not broken, then do not fix it" approach. For a small developers team like TC it will be hard work, with little benefits. Big teams like archlinux, fedora maybe could implement it. Look, even alpine linux got atraction slowly, and it just try to replace libc with musl.Maybe you are right, but you bark up the wrong tree.

A solution with itself causes problems 3 times bigger than itself. I had to express this in some way.
