The only "issue" with man pages is that they open in less and less is a bit too -- Vim-y. So you end up needing to read a manual on how to read manuals?

Are you saying man pages are bad or are you mocking those who don’t use it?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

It was a /s meme, I thought it was obvious.

[-] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 months ago

That’s what I thought too and had a good chuckle. But from the comments, it didn’t seem so.

Man pages are amazing, the day I learned how to read command syntax me y understanding of linux skyrocketed.

Does no one use info? I've worked with Linux a bit, and am currently taking a class on it. I mainly use man as well but I'm going to try info and see what happens

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

info is basically only good for gnu utils afaik

[-] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Interesting. I'll have to see if any specialized program has better info than man.

Honestly, I don't think I've used terminal in a year.

You sure you're a Linux user?

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Yep, once you get your edge-cases sorted (like needing to run SketchUp 2016), Linux is set it and forget it for distros worth using.

[-] spongeborgcubepants@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

This is only true for very limited usecases.

Even with that title people still missed the sarcasm, mad
