you seem angry. what's the difference between a folder and directory, theyre the same thing.
I'm not angry I'm older than Windows 95 which started that whole new-fangled "folder" thing for no reason whatsoever. And it's slowly infecting Unix, too.
...and at the same time they're still using
dir
to list... a folder?A folder stores files and you look up the location of files within that folder with the help of a directory. It was a direct translation of physical concepts, such as the directory in the lobby of a building that tells you which floor and office a business is located.
Just because Windows mushed those definitions together doesn't mean that they're the same.
