Windows give freedom to install new programs any where, including default. In a way this flexibility is good if one nears full capacity of the partition. Under Win, almost all programmes can be relocated some way after install or by re-installation. Under Linux rigid rule "not relocatable" is prevalent. Under Linux some programmes will go to users home directory! I have realplay lying there.
But at the end of day Linux is liked for the challenge it poses to manage and Windows for daily survival.
Hey - that's unfair!

This is a proposed Standard for the file system hierarchy on UNIX
like OSs. It contains a rationale for where to put things.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
