      man 7 hier is much older than linux itself. The 1994 start date in the article is not doing the history of the tradition justice.

      It would have been weirder if the creepy “init system” (with its 58 executables and counting, 52 + 6 arg0 links) dictating the future of that tradition didn’t raise some eye brows.

      Most distros have /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, sometimes it is a symlink but that location is there in ubuntu, alpine, fedora and arch.

      edit: Also you can usually change this location with an env variable.

          That’s the real location of the certs, but once again they usually make a symlink in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

          One library that is problematic is p11-kit, this one usually comes with a different path to the certs hardcoded and does not respect env variables unless it is compiled with a specific flag which no distro uses.

          So I had to do this hack to fix that library.
