When I create my own binaries and executable scripts, is the $HOME/.local/bin the preferred convention or should I still be placing them in $HOME/bin?



Putting them into .local/ would help to de-clutter my home directory but I'm not sure if .local/ should be considered the domain of applications with bin/ being where I place things that I've authored myself.



My question is, specifically, is the $HOME/.local/ path convention meant to complement or supplement traditional paths such as bin/ and others?
