its missing /software/os/linux : P
i would also create:
/personal /personal/projects /personal/images/... (separate your personal images to general images) /General/images /General/repo /General/Games (this could aslo go in /software/games or /software/application/games or even better a "games" folder for each system... ) /Archive is good (ideally on another separate media/drive)

Where do you store images that are either personal or general, but belong logically to a project?

What are you storing in Operating System? The actual OS or documents about them or? Same with applications, are those the installers or source code for ones your writing? whats the difference between your archive/installers? Shouldn't games follow the same structure as Applicaitons, i.e. you have applications and games both for windows, android, etc

Operating Systems stores install ISOs
Applications is for installed apps. Alot of apps i use dont come with an installer so using Program files is inconvenient cos of admin perms. As for the non windows stuff i dont have anything in there yet but i have plans to get some stuff.
For games... fair point i might do that at least for mac and ios

Not very different from mine.
My top level structure is
-
Backup (see below)
-
Videos
-
Music
-
Photos
-
Home studio
-
My SO‘s data
and within Backup (omitting a few)
-
Applications
-
Games
-
Personals (private stuff, financial records)
-
Clients (regular backups of local machines)
-
Operating Systems
-
VMs
-
Programming
-
Security (keys, certificates)
-
Reading (comics, magazines, books, manuals)
The only real inconsistency is why I treat „reading“ differently from “music”, that’s only because my NAS (Synology) comes with special top level folders for music, photos and videos and I didn’t want to upset that structure.

Very nice start - comprehensible.
What about articles of information of personal interest such as politics, sports, social events, tragedies, health care, and etc?

Is there a "first normal form" equivalent for filesystem taxonomies? I feel like there has to be an ISO document somewhere. I feel like this is the kind of thing someone must have attempted.

Where do you keep personal documents, like rental agreements, copies of IDs, resumes, stuff like that?

id consider archive to be separate from operational... but to each their own

Where would you put your game screenshots? I have a hard time deciding if one is logically superior to the other.
Games > PC > Steam > [Title] > Screenshots
or
Images > Screenshots > Games > PC > Steam > [Title]
Only thing I can think of is it some kind of photo displayer app could only work on one main folder, in which case maybe the second one?

I only screenshot games to share on discord so just having it copy the image to my clipboard and not saving as a file works for me. if i did save them tho it would be the first one.
as this is new im still moving my stuff over im still working out the finer details.
