How peaceful is your /etc file listing?
Hello LES!
Here are three screenshots of /etc file listings, from my
Chromebook Debian Linux container,
FreeBSD VPS, and
Void Linux VPS.
Do you feel an emotional reaction to any of these /etc listings? In particular, does any one of the three /etc listings seem more peaceful and attractive than the others?
Please feel free to post a screenshot of your distro's /etc listing!
Thanks!
Tom

No opinion. It is what it is.
The all seeing eye sees everything...
I may be biased but FreeBSD looks the best, followed by Void which leaves Debian coming in third. Is that the right answer? Do I win a prize?
Why emotional? Just a bunch of generic Linux config junk inside.
We use Windows.
Our HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is squeaky clean.

If you notice the timestamps on those files you might recognize that my only hope toward
/etc
is to spare myself a walk to the basement to crawl behind the bench and plug a monitor into a noisy machine that stopped responding to ssh.@Not_Oles Just saying as a friend, you might find more peacefulness for example by going fishing. Perhaps it would be time for you to take a day or two off instead of trying to deep deeper meaning in file listings.
I am sorry to hear you use windows. I wish you good luck finding your way back to the Linux realm.
Here you go, did some Multipass screenshots of Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 before my server expires:
/etc stands for Erase That Crap
rm -rf the living shite out of that directory
Here's one from Slackware 14.0, it's a VirtualBox VM from one of my workstations at home.
Thanks @tmntwitw! Very relaxingly excellent. Good for meditation. Paging another Slackware fan, @AuroraZero!

Eh? Why did you awaken the Yeti?

I imagined that the Yeti would enjoy seeing yet another Slackware /etc directory listing! Isn't Slackware kinda like 🍦 for a Yeti?

Good!

Maybe it would be better to check by "ls -la"
It can be higher density without "-l", but maybe a '-F' flag is better .
Hi @caasify!
When I first saw your comment, my initial thought was, "I don't remember ever seeing any dot files in /etc
." Then I ran
ls -laand was reminded of the Posix dot files which always seem present, I guess, in every
ls -la` directory listing.Surprisingly, I also found
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 16 2022 .pwd.lock
This is in
/etc
on a Debian container in my Chromebook.Taking a quick look around, I saw
and
Maybe I ought to update the Chromebook container. There is a Chrome OS update pending as well.
When I started this thread, it really was meant to be about the mysterious, cosmic beauty in simplicity. There was something -- something seeming simple -- (but maybe not "really" simple) -- that I liked about the Void
/etc
screenshot in the OP.Thanks again @caasify!

Yes! "-F" provides additional helpful information concisely expressed. I wish "-F" were the default. But maybe there is a disadvantage to making "-F" the default for
ls

I mount everything to /tmp and refuse to reboot
