“Everything is a file” — but what does that actually mean in Linux?

In this video, I dive deep into the Arch Linux filesystem and explain what each major directory does, which ones are safe to explore, and which ones you should never touch unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

If you’ve ever wondered what /usr, /bin, /etc, /proc, or /sys actually do — or if you’re afraid of bricking your system — this video will give you a solid mental model of how Linux is structured.

Perfect for Arch Linux users, beginners, and curious power users.
