    when i type mount i see many different filesystem names

    sysfs, proc, udev, devpts, tmpfs, securityfs, cgroup2, pstore, none, systemd-1, hugetlbfs, mqueue, debugfs, tracefs, sunrpc, fusectl, configfs binfmt_misc, portal

    is there "simple" documentation to explain what these are

    Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but have you looked at the filesystems(5) man page?

    Use
    apropos sysfs to find manpages relevant.
    Be ware that only the manpages will be searched that are installed on
    your system, so maybe have a look at https://manpages.debian.org/ or
    search that site with your preferred search engine.

    In days of yore (Sun, 24 Mar 2024), [email protected] thus quoth:

    sysfs, proc, udev, devpts, tmpfs, securityfs, cgroup2, pstore, none, systemd-1, hugetlbfs, mqueue, debugfs, tracefs, sunrpc, fusectl, configfs binfmt_misc, portal

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems?h=v6.8.1

    The Linux Kernel sources have a Documentation tree that documents many
    aspects and features of the kernel. There may be a kernel-doc package you
    can install that should put that documentation right onto your system in /usr/share/doc/kernel/.

    Do note: reading the docs about /proc and /sys (procfs and sysfs
    respectively) may give ideas - write those ideas down if you decide to try
    them out so you have a record of what you might have done on the system.
    It can be relatively easy to unintentionally cause bad performance by
    poking around with those settings.

    Happy learning!

    Which brought up two docs appropriate for my own Trixie setup: linux-doc-6.5 and linux-doc-6.6. The description for 6.6 is:

    That's a good one, thanks :-)
