    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
