Is there a "proper" directory where I'm supposed to be installing programs from tar.gz files?

You know how when you install Windows programs, the proper directory are either the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders by default?

Is there a proper default directory for installing software from tar.gz files in Linux? Or I am supposed to just extract them to any folder I want and thus the software is installed?
