/etc/systemd/system/
As I understand it, files under /usr/lib/systemd/system should only be
created or modified by packages. A sysadmin who wants to add new units
should always put them under /etc/systemd/system.
Bonus tip: overrides to package-provided units should also go under
/etc/systemd/system, even if the original unit files are in
/usr/lib/systemd/system. The command `systemctl edit <unit>`
automatically creates the precisely named path and file for this
purpose.
The official systemd documentation is not the most readable thing ever,
but it's pretty thorough, and does detail the hierarchy of unit file
and override locations.
