See the Filesystem Hierarcy Standard at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml, or read man hier. It explains where things go. Departing from the Standard places one at risk of becoming broken and unsupportable.

@Calmarius Personal binaries go in ~/.local/bin

@Calmarius, What? shouldn't you use /usr/local/bin?

There are fewer places nowadays, since /bin was merged with /usr/bin and /sbin was merged with /usr/sbin – see The Case for the /usr Merge.
