Not that it matters much, ultimately it’s about becoming familiar with where stuff is put, even if it’s in a weird grab bag of /usr, /var, /etc/etc/etc. Still, I can’t help but check out Gobolinux from time to time.
If you want different programs to have their own file structure, there’s always NixOS. It’s not as readable, but every package has its own directory in /nix/store.
“This small thing does low-level thing different. Try huge pile of things instead.”
That’s like a vegan reommending Islam instead of eating meat.
Ehhh… I was more going for someone saying they like vegan foods and responding with “ooh, have you tried this recipe?”.

Also very windows like, aside from
Mount.
Just shove everything into /opt, all the big professional companies are doing it! They’d never take shortcuts, right?
Oh wait
I read the link
Gobo Linux just turns / into /opt
First time I hear about Gobolinux. A quick websearch for comparison between Nix and Gobolinux brought me this article from 2011: https://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2011/12/evaluation-and-comparison-of-gobolinux.html . An interesting system.
weird grab bag
You don’t mention whether that is adherence to the FHS or denial of it.
One of those options is, to be clear, violating a standard.
Listen, everyone knows all configs go in /etc/etc/etc. User-configs included.
Gobolinux is interesting for sure. I kinda feels similar to nix and guix, but more primitive if that makes sense.
