Does a graphical representation of the files in the Linux kernel exist anywhere? Like a graphical file explorer but for the different kernel components.

- fooker 3y agoYeah the files are organized into a directory hierarchy, pretty cool tech! :-) And there are great tools for exploring directories of files, my current favorite is dolphin with two or three panes.
- Sjonny 3y agoyou can run windirstat (or similar tool) on a checkout to get an idea
- trevithick 3y agoYeah, I guess this is the answer. When I posted the question I had this[1] in mind, and was thinking of something like that with simplified labels maybe. But I guess the file structure is so organized it would explain itself to anyone interested in this kind of thing.
