In my head canon, there is a timeline where Gobolinux took off in a big way, and radically transformed the Linux filesystem structure as we know it. (slrpnk.net)

Not that it matters much, ultimately it's about becoming familiar with where stuff is put, even if it's in a weird grab bag of /usr, /var, /etc/etc/etc. Still, I can't help but check out Gobolinux from time to time.

TIL as well. Biggest disadvantage for me would be not having ~/.config for easy access to most of my config files. ~/.cache is pretty convenient too. My ideal filesystem layout might include these directories but combine the program root directories into one.

The structure of GoboLinux reminds me a lot of Flatpak.

    Is the home folder structure different on gobo as well? I never used it so i don't know but on NixOS and Guix for example only the root file system is different, your home folder is like any other distro.
