      I got you fam

      If you have anything that is not located under /home that you have to access often, the trick is making a symbolic link to your home directory.

      To do this, use the following command in the terminal:

      ln -s /{target_directory} /{directory_to_link_to}

      For example, to access /bin from /home/username:

      ln -s /bin /home/username

      That way it's almost identical to just having it installed in your home directory and you no longer have to remember where it is actually located. This should still persist after reboot. If you want it to be entirely identical for any reason, you can use mounts instead, either with mount --bind to make it temporary or editing /etc/fstab to make it permanent, but symbolic links would usually suffice.
