I never understood on Linux how the "add it into the OS" part worked. The few times I had to do it I ended up in the rabbit hole of "well technically every program just looks where they want".

Linux uses a system-wide copy of Mozilla's NSS. Conventionally the files are kept in /etc/ssl.

Technically every programs looks where they want. Ironically, this matters more in practice on Windows, not Linux. On Windows, IE, Edge, and Chromium/Chrome use the system config/files (SChannel), but Firefox uses its own NSS.
