I mean, when making it like
/apps
/user
/systems
How easy would it be to build on that? I mean, there is no good reason to make a directory system like that, with virtual links for programs, which needs the /usr /bin and so on stuff
Yes, you are the only one
The symbolic links for everything that Fedora is doing is retarded. Every package managed program goes into the proper /usr/bin, the data into /usr/share/<packagename>/ and documentation goes into /usr/share/doc/<packagename> how hard is that? Then anything you compile yourself gets put into /usr/local/bin with data going to /usr/local/share. Granted, you can change this in the configure scripts, but that is the default.
Makes total sense.
