Kids today barely know what a file is. I have to regularly explain folders and file types. When I asked them where they saved a thing, they answer "On the computer" and look at me like I'm crazy for asking that.
yes, because folders are not something thats really worthwhile in a filesystem. they're a vestige of an earlier time.
Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they're quite convenient.
Userspace concept is my point dont need them in the file system itself
In that case you're left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
I wouldn't trust it.
sounds like a you problem. if you think longer on it maybe you'll come up with the obvious layer to implement it at that isn't the kernel.
Enlighten us instead of being a dick lol
See desktop portals, and desktop environments you dont need to use the kernel for the folder structure. And shared implantations for adding them in are fairly trivial.
I think you're confusing user interfaces and API structures there.
Also file systems don't have to be in the kernel. User space file systems are a thing and work fine.
??? Im not confusing those at all. You literally just repeated what i said.
folders are a convenient organization strategy
Indeed they are! Just don't need them in the filesystem itself
