Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!
Reply in thread
There is no direct equivalent, system32 is just a collection of libraries, exes, and confs.
Some of what others have said is accurate, but to explain a bit further:
Longer explanation:
::: spoiler spoiler
system32 is just some folder name the MS engineers came up back in the day.
Linux on the other hand has many distros, many different contributors, and generally just encourages a .. better .. separation for types of files, imho
The linux filesystem is well defined if you are inclined to research more about it.
Understanding the core principals will make understanding virtually everything else about "linux" easier, imho.

tl;dr; "On a UNIX system, everything is a file; if something is not a file, it is a process."
:::
The basics:
ls, mv, things like thatparted, reboot, etc/lib/modules/*, similar to system32's function of holding critical librariesBonus:
/srv/db for database volumes, /srv/www for web-data volumes, /srv/Media for large-file storage, etc, etcFor completeness:
/var/log
