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”

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’ve been using Linux for about a year now, I have no clue what is even in /usr/bin …you people have manuals?! I needed a manual to find the thing.

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

Just type in man <your binary> to go through the binary manual, also called man page :)
