renaming `/home`

Open JasonJWilliamsNY opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

@ErinBecker suggested the renaming of /home' so that its less confusing when looking at paths like '/home/dcuser

I'm conflicted on this. /home/dcuser is a typical unix setup. But it is confusing to describe that the /home/ folder isn't the 'home folder'

@ErinBecker says that this has been submitted as an issue in the past as well.

maybe explain it as "/home/dcuser" is the apartment and "/home" is the apartment building.

Maybe we should make some other imaginary users. So you can explain that each user has a home folder in the /home folder

Yes, I think it's a great idea!
