As I learned it a long time ago, /bin /sbin are historically for system commands, /usr/bin /usr/sbin for user ones. sbin stands for "static binaries" for commands needed while libs are not available (boot, recovery, etc). Potentially commands for root. Nowadays we have binaries and libs on same device so bin sbin are less significant. And of course since debian merge /usr there is no difference between system and user commands : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 17 sept. 2022 bin -> usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 17 sept. 2022 lib -> usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 17 sept. 2022 lib32 -> usr/lib32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 17 sept. 2022 lib64 -> usr/lib64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 17 sept. 2022 libx32 -> usr/libx32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 17 sept. 2022 sbin -> usr/sbin
