? the hardcore of utopic minimalism ? how should a really minimalist linux be !?

<< < (3/3)

xor:
folderless operating system

all in one directory; no folder, no folder link, no file link!

how do i do that !?

files in all folders to the home directory; to rename and move the folder name;

/A / apps1.so => /A--apps1.so
/A / B / apps2.so => /A-B--apps2.so
/A / B / C / apps3.so => /A-B-C--apps3.so

it will be easier and more practical to analyze in such rows :)
I don't want to get lost in word mazes anymore. :)

folderless operating system ; no folder, no folder link, no file link !!! :)

folderless operating system

google search result

It's even nice to be in the same mind with ibm engineering :)

To folder (TOFLR)

Specifies the name of the folder into which the document is being moved. A folder name must be entered in this parameter if a document name is entered in the Rename (RENAME) parameter.

*NONE
    The document is to become a folderless object. If you specify TOFLR(*NONE), the document becomes folderless and can only be referred to by its system object name.
name
    Specify the name of the folder that is to contain the document.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined productivity at six Social Security Administration (SSA) program service centers (PSC).
,,,
 GAO concluded that management could make greater use of existing performance data to enhance PSC productivity efforts and save costs by utilizing opportunities for folderless processing and implementing local computer applications at all PSC

I hope it's something as good as your word meaning :)

Hi xor
You have taken both of those links out of context.

The IBM link deals with database programming (SQL), not operating systems or Linux.
"folderless object" does not mean what you think it does.

...
The  system object name  includes the folder names.

The GAO link is a report from 1987.
It refers to the Social Security Administration moving from paper file folders to computer files.

So you want to move:

--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin/firefox
--- End code ---
To:

--- Code: ---/usr-local-bin-firefox
--- End code ---
You have just changed the name of firefox.
Any program that tries to open a link (email client for example) will fail because the firefox name no longer exists.
Doing this for the whole system will change the name of every program.
Programs will no longer be able to run other programs.
What you are suggesting will make your computer unusable.
A simpler and faster way to do that would be to unplug it.

Firstly;
I knew it was unreasonable to extend the filename unnecessarily :)
No need to rename if filenames are unique!

2nd;
There are too many virtual routing files in the system
unix base folders; like a dead end
and so it needs redirect files.

the most basic file directories; If you redirect to the lowest folder.
Instead of a 1000-odd virtual folder; You only use 10 virtual folders.

Are you aware of how practical this is!? :)
