Right now if you go to `/` you would still see all of the files there.
If your logged in as root, I can understand that, but as a normal users,
its just an invitation for some users to go around and possibly break
things.
Currently users see this:
bin
boot
cdrom
dev
etc
home
initrd.img
initrd.img.old
lib
lib32
lib64
lost+found
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
run
sbin
srv
sys
tmp
usr
var
vmlinuz
vmlinuz.old
By some minor tweaking one could turn that into this:
home
tmp
That can be achieved by adding a file in the root folder `/.hidden` with
the following content:
bin
boot
cdrom
dev
etc
home
initrd.img
initrd.img.old
lib
lib32
lib64
lost+found
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
run
sbin
srv
sys
usr
var
vmlinuz
vmlinuz.old
Every file you put in - that’s in the same directory as the file itself
- will be hidden.
Now, I also hide the home folder, made a link of my $username folder,
and paste that in the root dir /. I also made a Applications folder with
desktop files in them. We could link it to /usr/share/applications/. But
the icons are not active for some reason? I copied the .desktop files to
a folder in my home dir, and activated that, We could do something like
that?
I think that this is how all the `/` folders should look like for normal
users in the future:
Applications
$username
tmp
