/dev Designations

The /dev directory will be filled with files and directories, but to understand it you need to know the naming scheme (which differs a bit between Linux distributions), some key ones are:

/sda0 – Disk / Storage Devices

/nvme0 – NVM / Storage Devices

/ttys0 – Serial Ports

/psaux – PS-2 Port

(port number)

nvme – non-volatile memory express (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express)

/dsp0 – Audio Device

dsp – Digital Signal Processor

(Partition number)

/js0 – Joy Stick

Rather than tell you all of them, you know what they are now so you can look up the ones you need to know about
