I've been using Linux for a while, but I still find the file structure a bit confusing compared to Windows. In Windows, things are pretty clear: programs are mostly in 'Program Files', config files are usually in 'AppData', and I can easily install applications wherever I want, like on a separate drive for my games. I like having everything organized and self-contained. However, in Linux, I feel lost with this system! I want to understand how the file structure works and whether I can install and organize applications the same way—keeping them self-contained when possible and avoiding clutter in the system. Can anyone help me out with this?

You should definitely check out the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). It really clarifies where things typically go in Linux and answers most of your questions!
