Unix / Linux are both file based operating systems. The majority of configuration can be amended by system configuration files, although as the systems have developed more and more of this is automated and hidden from the user. User configuration files will normally reside under the /etc directory.

How do LINUX operating systems handle file management?

Linux operating systems manage files through a hierarchical file system structure, where everything is organized under a single root directory (/). Files and directories are accessed using a combination of commands in the terminal, such as ls for listing, cp for copying, and mv for moving files. Permissions play a crucial role, allowing users to control access through read, write, and execute rights for the owner, group, and others. Additionally, Linux uses inodes to store metadata about files, enabling efficient file management and retrieval.
