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)
Ehm, your friend should really hold ma beer.
