What is the advantage of UNIX-like filesystem hierarchy standard?

It exists and is called Gobo Linux. find, grep, and man basically make it not worth the time.

Oh, didn't know that. It looks cool.

My issue is not really finding them, it's more about not being able to completely and confidently removing programs. Bits and pieces left everywhere that are not tracked by package manager which may also be named weirdly so you may not be able to find them using logic.

But I thought I was the only one got fed up with this. Apparently there are others and now my thread seems a bit pointless.

Problem is with the package not having certain files being tracked. In any case, I've had the same problems in Windows, with uninstallers leaving shit around. Visual Studio's uninstaller is complete crap.

But if all the related files are collected in one directory and only symlinked, you can just look at the directory and find out what remains in theory.

Gobo is half-assed, and not the right half of the ass.

Read up on NixOS. Every package is built in isolation in its own content-addressed write-once location in the store. Symlink trees that serve as profiles are also built as packages in this store. Lots of interesting properties: install and upgrade are atomic, repeatable, portable, downgrade is guaranteed to work, nonadmin package install is a possibility, etc.
