Why can't you do that with /bin?
- akdev1l 3y agoBecause /bin only contains binaries whereas /usr is self-contained. It will contain icons/libraries/shared resources/etc that the binaries actually need to function. The idea is that /usr can be a snapshot of your whole system. (/etc violates this but there’s ongoing work on that side)
- Zambyte 3y agoI don't see the benefit of shoving every directory in / under /usr. / can already be a "snapshot of your whole system". Just mount /home separately if you don't want it included in that.
- coldtea 3y agoBecause it wouldn't contain the rest of the /usr
- Zambyte 3y ago... and what's the problem with two RO mounts?
- coldtea 3y agoThey aren't one.
- NekkoDroid 3y agoThat its more that needs to be done for no benefit.
