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?
Yes.
yes in the sense of you saying man pages are bad or in the sense of you mocking those who don’t use it?
Mocking those that don't use them.
It was a /s meme, I thought it was obvious.
That’s what I thought too and had a good chuckle. But from the comments, it didn’t seem so.

Honestly, I don't think I've used terminal in a year.
You sure you're a Linux user?
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.
This is only true for very limited usecases.
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
info is basically only good for gnu utils afaik
Interesting. I'll have to see if any specialized program has better info than man.
Hint: :q!
