Zeppo

That’s a US-only extension mainly used by Facebook and Twitter members.

Also /lib is where some people keep discarded capitalists

That’s what I thought too. This is directory structure, not file systems.

/home is often on a separate volume. You’d want root to be available in a maintenance situation where /home may not be mounted.

I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.

It’s very simple to have multiple desktop environments installed. You can select which one to use from the login screen, or launch X from a console and then start the DE from the command line.

It would be no problem to remove the office software you’re not using. I doubt that’s connected to any other packages through dependencies.

I assume because it’s more customizable.
