I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I’ll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

    Symlinks are fully transparent for all software just opening the file etc.

    If the software really cares about this (like file managers) they can simply ask the Linux kernel for additional information, like what type of file it is.
