it is where all the binaries (programs) live (that are not system critical, those would be in sbin). so whenever you execute ls? it is actually /usr/bin/ls and so on and so forth.

then there is the "man" command. basically a manual. you can use it to find out stuff about other commands and such by just typing "man [command]" for example "man ls"

edit: this knowledge has NOT been acquired by RTFM but rather by watching YouTube

    Thanks that's a massive help, I'm usually just searching around GitHub, forums and YouTube for info, literally never used the man command.
