Keep in mind this is FreeBSD, but this is the perfect structure that FreeBSD obeys.
Linux distros fuck it up on a daily basis. App devs interpret it themselves and fuck it up even further.
But if you dont know what etc, usr or bin or local means, it should give you a better understanding. Navigating docs, manuals and commands should be easier.
Most app devs fuck it up (especially the lazy bastards that just throw everything in /opt and call it a day). I like being the dev who won’t let my code ship until everything fits nicely into FHS 3.0.
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.
Just type in man <your binary> to go through the binary manual, also called man page :)

There’s dozens of us.
I know my dude, I know.
You can look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for starters.
About manuals, try
man manin the command line, then something likeman ls.
