@mos_8502@studio8502.ca actually /usr originally was for 'unix system ressources.'
the user's stuff was mounted on /home
dunno where the usr == user legend came to be believed...

@harald4toot@troet.cafe No, 'unix system ressources' is a backronym. Historically, /usr was used instead of /home. See other answers here or references at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem
