For the most part, the average PC user should never mess with the files.
The only dir. ment for user use is /root/my-documents ( in Puppy ).
I would have put all of / except for /root and /homes in a dir. like: /linux
But Linux is a Unix clone, so it started life as a main frame O.S.
Unfortunately Puppy and many Linuxes are not very user adaptable.
But it`s good to have a free "simpler" O.S. that`s M$ Weeners like.
Most use PCs for web browsing, documents, media playing, etc.

Yeah, and I think a feature similar to gobohide could accomplish that. Then after the "M$ Weeners" get
weaned off M$ maybe they'll be more likely to stay off.

Again... If you want a new different look at the file system, use links.
Make a dir., lets say /fs and fill it with links named how you want.
But I don`t see renaming /bin, /etc, /lib , /mnt, /proc, /sys helping anyone.
Same as if the real dirs. were named different, it wouldn`t help anything.
The only dir. the average user needs to access is /home/(user)/docs
Usability for average user isn`t in understanding the inner workings.
It`s all about good GUIs that make usage and what`s going on clear.
AND... It can`t be documentation, most folks won`t read docs, I don`t..
A good GUI should document itself, it should be short and informative.
Some things are more in-depth, so a Help button on the GUI is good.

Casting in Virtual fox : Gobo goes as it should go. So my copy to pendrive had some problems, that is my conclusion. Nevertheles the charm of Gobo does not appears at first sight. Kde is included.
It's a typist puppy, that is what makes it so FAT. (oOO office in the ISO). This fat can be withdrawn if your want a speedy Puppy, for amusement after a long day microsofting on your computer.
I am trying now DebianDog 64, named jessy.. born 2016 on my Virtual Box. My only criteria at casting : it runs on my computer, it brings me something new
