Linux filesystem layout

miriam_eI've mentioned before what a shambles the linux file layout is. The proof is in the pudding. I've spent all day trying to get working a few things on my linux machine that took a couple of minutes installing on MSWindows... and I feel like I'm not much closer to getting it working than I was when I started. Gaaaah!
MSWindows is like a monstrous, rickety structure of patches upon patches, but linux is not much better with the file layout littered with legacy directories, and files that expect things to be in one place, but another thing expecting them elsewhere, and then you get all the different incompatibilities between many incremental versions... Oh boy!
Did I mention how much I hate working on computers?
