i genuinely run all my shit bare metal

hm. i dont think i can argue against that in my case…

only that im not a cheater, or criminal.

well the vast majority of those are just arch and debian with extra steps, with the occasional fedora based or independent distro

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

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”
