Fair enough. My guess is every one of those apps create sym links in
/usr/bin because seldom is /opt/trinity/$anything in the search path $PATH.
There is no strict technical requirement against
installing to /opt, but
doing so renders TDE a second class player. No other DE is installed
this way.
In my /opt live:
- Trinity
- Vivaldi
- Firefox
- Simplify3D
- MasterPDF -Editor
- LibreOffice
- Google Chrome and Earth
- AfterShot Pro
- and even M$ Edge (yep, for their Teams Prgressive Web App that no long can
connect to their new Teams...)
So /opt is quite used. Judging of a DE from where it is installed is... well..
let's say surprising. A little as if I said a car is good not because I use
it because where I bought it.
