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
you may or may not need to install it first, depending on wether your distro ships it by default. for how to install it you should open your distros wiki in your browser

I really appreciate you explaining
All this talk in the thread of “rtfm” and you’re the first one to actually explain how to get to the manual for commands
Thanks that’s a massive help, I’m usually just searching around GitHub, forums and YouTube for info, literally never used the man command.
