Glad mine is just a computer, not a desktop ;-)
Seriously: that's why I walked away from this desktop craze years
ago. Sure, I still have to have a rough idea of how it works, to
be able to help other people fix their computers, but... my $HOME
is mine.
You are free to arrange your files in whatever manner you prefer.
However, OP specifically asked for a "standard/recommended location".
Unlike the other answers I've seen in the thread so far (which are
personal anecdata), my answer provides one such, with references.
Actual specifications are worth the bother >99% of the time.
My actual background is primarily component level analog and was doing
"end user support" in mid-60's.
