In most Linux distributions, where are boot logs typically stored?

Boot logs are generally stored in the /var/log directory in most Linux distributions. This location is specified for log files generated by the system, including logs related to the boot process. The /var/log directory is specifically designed to hold variable log files, which means they can grow in size and change frequently, making it an appropriate place for storing logs about system events such as booting, kernel messages, and other system activities.

The boot logs can be found in files such as boot.log or included in other log files like syslog or dmesg, depending on the specific distribution and its logging system. This organized structure helps system administrators and users to easily locate and review important system logs to troubleshoot issues or analyze system performance.
