So when I open the default JDK location on a Mac or Windows, I will see the Java version like 1.8.0_22 and then a bin folder, however when I’m on Ubuntu, I see the default OpenJDK folder such as java-11-openjdk (under /etc/java-11-openjdk), but none of there is no bin folder. I’m not sure why this is the case. I’m wondering if someone can tell me the location of the bin folder.

Sorry mate, I am not an expert on this. Can you use the java-11-openjdk? Because if you have it installed you might be able to search for it with which java-11-openjdk or something along those lines. The which-command usually shows you were in the path it found the executable.
Edit: In case of my Fedora installation which java showed me that the java executable is in /usr/bin/java for me. Hope this helps.
Java is under /usr/lib/jvm on Ubuntu. Inside the specific version you will find a bin directory with the executables, e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

Thank you!
In the future, you can always use the whereis <program> to figure out at least where the binary is installed, regardless of distro and package manager.
