Tangent, but that's what made getting into Linux/Unix really hard. You have all these folders and files and no README.md to explain what is what. And there seemed to be no logic at all with how things were organized or named (and names often were shortened to abbreviations that I couldn't comprehend). I'm wondering what a modern system made to be readable and understandable would look like.

The other thing, coming from windows, was not understanding where to install things. In windows there's like a single place where you install all your stuff.

Open a cmd box and type

     PATH
How many folders do you see? They all count as places.

But I completely agree with everything you said about Linux!
