Where are "apps stored" if I want to launch with other apps
Since my windows days, from time to time, you need to launch a file with something besides the default app.
In KDE, you can right click - Open With - drop down to Other Application
However in windows you would navigate to Program Files and try to locate the executable.
I'm lost on how to do that in KDE. If I go there I can see 8 or 9 relevant apps. There is a button called "Show All Install Applications," but that just expands the list to 24 apps, and most of them are...weird options (like games are there).
There is a button called "Choose Other," but it takes me to my home folder. I am unsure how to navigate the home folder to find the right app to launch a file.
Can someone guide me on this?

When the file browser opens to your Home folder, you are not supposed to stay there. You need to navigate to the root of the drive to find system applications. Look at the left sidebar (the Places panel) and click "Root" or "/" (slash).
