if you think FOSS makes anything better for the average user, especially UX, I have a bridge to sell you.

Whenever I get to use windows and I face their byzantine directory structure, I wonder how people put up with that shit.

Do you mean the byzantine directory structure for system files? The default of installing to "Program Files" doesn't seem too unusual, although adding "x86" bit seems unnecessarily complicated for a typical end user. Same with the rest of the standard directories that people use most often.

The directory structure for system files is bad, but that's true for Unix-derivatives too. Unix has /bin and /lib, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /var/opt, etc. Different versions of Unix have different ideas of what belongs where. Even different flavours of Linux have their own ideas.

Mostly for user files.

For system files it's not too bad. At least there's some logic to it.
