This sounds a lot like a troll. What answer are you seeking?

"Yes, linux would work just as well if it worked exactly like Windows,
but then it would be too easy and we wouldn't be able to preserve the
eliticism of linux any more!"

BTW, linux apps install in (more or less) a standard way (if you're
talking about install location). It's Windows and MacOS which install
apps to nonstandard locations.

PS please stop top-posting (unless you know why you're top-posting),
and please trim your posts.
