Übersicht
A home directory, cited very often in our knowledgebase, is the location in which all files for a particular user are stored. A home directory is located in /home and named after the user. For example, if your username is “steve“, then a home directory for steve is /home/steve. If a user is named example, then the home directory for example ist /home/example, and so forth.
This location is static and may not be changed per-user without renaming the user under Benutzer > Manage Users innerhalb der Bedienfeld.
Tilde (~) notation
When referring to directories, a special notation, tilde (~) is used to refer to your home directory. For example, as the user steve, ~/mydir/ refers to /home/steve/mydir.
