Location of examples folder in Ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to add some additional example files to the Arduino IDE in Ubuntu 14.04. However, I can't for the life of me find where the examples are stored in my system. I checked the Arduino website, but can't find any information there. Does anyone know where I need to put my additional files?

Usually there is no good reason to know where the folder is. The examples are available in Arduino IDE in Files->Examples menu and it doesn't make much sense to add more sketches to built-in examples in local installation. — Juraj, Apr 24 '22 at 09:39

After some more searching I found it in /usr/share/arduino/examples.
