    I have spent weeks setting up LineageOs for my unsupported phone and I think I understood it.

    • So /storage/emulated/0 is practically your home directory, all folders you can easily change are there.
    • I don’t understand these memes, everything gets saved to /Downloads. The default file explorer is just crap. I use amaze
    • the only really weird directory is the camera, it is saved in DCIM
    • If you care about app specific app data go to /Android/data (for me its like the .config directory)

      I’m just guessing here, but if I recall correctly, android was started as an OS for digital cameras. So saving camera files to DCIM (Digital Camera Images) makes sense as that is standard to most other cameras
