What file organization method is used by Linux?

In: Linux [Edit categories]

Answer:

Linux uses a unified filesystem structure that complies with the filesystem hierarchy standard, which, while not always immediately intuitive, is designed to make it an easier task of locating specific files on the system manually, and also to allow software written for it to be able to predict where its needed files are kept.
