Hey, I’ve recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?

I updated the poster: https://whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X use the link to see online.

    The origin is that /usr may be network mounted or otherwise shared across multiple systems, whereas /usr/local is local to a particular PC. That definition is not as relevant with today’s single-user machines, and now it mostly means what you said (/usr is managed by system package manager whereas /usr/local is manually managed).
