What is the system32 equivalent in linux
/bin, since that will include any basic programs (bash, ls, cd, etc.).
As in, the directory in which much of the operating system’s executable binaries are contained in?
They’ll be spread between /bin and /sbin, which might be symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. Bonus points is /boot.
For the memes:
This deletes everything and is the most popular linux meme
The same “expected” functionality:
This deletes the main binaries. You kinda can recover here but I have never done it.
What is system32? Outdated 32bit binaries?
A weird catch-all folder for “most important Windows system stuff”. It’s not 32bit, just named like that in typical Windows fashion for backwards compatibility.
Would probably be
/usr
and/bin
, while some apps get installed to/opt
or even/local
or/var
/usr/lib or /usr/lib64 or /lib (some distros) or /lib64
Some things (like hosts file) are in /etc. /etc mostly contains configs.
