• Freedesktop.org now hosts the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Nov 7 06:40:07 2025
    The future of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) has been under discussion for some time; now,
    Neal Gompa has announced
    that the FHS is "hosted and stewarded" by Freedesktop.org.

    For those who are unaware, the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)
    is the definition for POSIX operating systems to organize system
    and user data. It is broadly adopted by Linux, BSD, and other
    operating systems that follow POSIX-like conventions.

    See this
    page for the specification's new home.
