    Ehm, your friend should really hold ma beer.

    Windows: ok, where files of program N? Let’s check: C:/Program files? Or Program files (x86)? Why do I happen to see same program in both?

    Ah, Documents/N? Maybe. But empty

    C:/AppData/(or whatever that is called)…fucking_hell? With fucking invisible folders? Really?

    As to the actual question, I remember just googling the standard, got some idea back then. Now found https://linuxhandbook.com/linux-directory-structure/ should be good enough (I guess, being used to reading software docs does change views on what is good/bad and also builds tolerance to detailed descriptions)
