Please someone tell me why androids filesystem structure is so damn confusing, I've wondered this forever but have never looked it up

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)
