Can someone please just give me a list of the default files and folders that you would find in /usr/share folder after installation?

You would not believe how difficult this is to find.

  • You mean that it is "difficult to find" what files are by default in X folder, right?

Install Ubuntu in a virtual machine, or on a cheap virtual private server, then look.
