/etc # System-wide configuration files
/home # Saved files and personal settings of each user
/lib # Libraries used by the binaries in /bin
/lib64 # 64-bit libraries
/mnt # Temporarily mounted filesystems reside here
/opt # Applications that don't rely on other dependencies
/proc # Provides process and kernel information as files
/root # Home directory for the root user
/run # Information about the running system since last boot
/sbin # System binaries (fsck, init, route, etc.)
