On Linux, a file does not only refer to regular files but also to directories, pipes, network sockets, devices, etc. Actually, the term “Everything is a file” is a common principle on Linux. Left unchecked, files can clutter your system and reduce productivity.
To improve your workflow and make it easy to navigate your PC it is important to organize your files properly.
Give Meaningful Names
Give your files and directories descriptive and meaningful names that reflect the content or purpose. This makes it easier to guess the folder or file content later on.
Remember that Linux is case-sensitive so the directories Folder1 and folder1 are different even though they have the same name.
