    Oh, I was just remarking that I don’t have anything but env installed in there. I wouldn’t be able to run sl by its full path unless I go searching for wherever that is

      Whoa. What distro is it that puts everything in /bin, or at least, practically nothing in /usr/bin?

      I use a Debian that actually symlinks /bin to /usr/bin so that they’re one and the same (annoying some purists), but even on systems where they are (or were) used for separate purposes, I thought that each had a significant number of commands in them.

      (To paraphrase man hier, /bin is for necessary tools and /usr/bin is for those that are nice to have.)

        They’re likely using NixOS. It makes /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh for compatibility but nothing else goes in those dirs
