what's wrong with man pages?

Man pages are great to have, all documentation easily accessible, mostly complete and directly available in your terminal.

Compare this to the shitshow that is git --help in windows opening a stupid browser. Somebody should be defenestrated for that decission.

I'm so fucking sick of every Linux meme being negative... Like are we supporting the community or actively trying to sabotage it?

Fuxk all these memes

Linux makes the word turn

Learn it and support it

This all started as irony, but it has gone too far

Regroup and get creative you sad intelligent fucks

The internet is full of bad advice.

Man pages are never wrong.

At least man pages are better than ChatGPT or other generative LLM that can hallucinate

Man pages save me an online search multiple times per week. Not sure that you're no about

Actually man page good

Am I the only one using tldr?

Wrong meme. The dark place is systemd.

I get confused every time I install a distro and man isn't installed by default. I guess I get the bare minimum philosophy, but it throws me off every time. First thing I install is vim, man, git, and probably a couple other things I can't remember right now.

I do like a decent man page that has examples for us dummies and I have found that they have improved a lot over the years.

"tldr pages. Simplified and community-driven man pages. The tldr pages are a community effort to simplify the beloved man pages with practical examples."

Anyone who thinks this is just incapable of navigating them.

Was this bullshit meme created by AI?

Hey, I always check man pages, they are pretty usefull

man "app" | grep "search keyword"

If you're electing to use linux, you got time to burn. Spend a little time getting comfy with manpages. Little things like that really add up to being effective.

A lot of people in here need tldr before getting comfortable with man it seems

RTFM amaright guys?

I don't get what's so wrong with man. If the creator neglected to add a -h option, then there's at least a chance somebody made a man page.

Reading man pages is a skill of it''s own and the quality of man pages vary. However the ways of figuring out how to do something. 'Command -h' or 'command --help' 'man command' Search online for 'command examples'.

Laughs in RHCSA exam.

man |lolcat

Tldr ftw

Manpages are good reference documentation when you already know which tool to use and how to use it and just need to tweak something. They can often be overwhelming otherwise. Just look at the number of flags on any git command, for example.
