So ~/.local/bin is a relatively recent systemd thing[1], replacing 
the conventional ~/bin.

My theory is that it's intended for users of graphical file 
browsers (where the traditional ~/bin is a bit too prominent even 
for my tastes), but I use it too.

It's trivial to augment $PATH yourself, whether or not your 
distribution is systemd-based.

That link doesn't support adding (or not adding) it.

Kind regards,
