Same outcome even if you read man pages
Don't forget the HEAVY Indian accent
I had to run this command once, not for the faint of heart, and takes about as long as a full OS reinstall...
sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'
This command reinstalls all registered packages on a Debian based distro, including Ubuntu and Mint.
Was totally worth it though, it kept all my files and config intact, and repaired all the packages that Timeshift borked up (my experience with Timeshift was BAD!)
Having a good --help
command does wonders.
There are man pages which do avoid me opening a web browser, the systemd
ones are pretty good for example.
I just installed tldr
to test it out tho.
I've gotten in the dumbfounding habit of searching man <program>
on the web instead of in the terminal I'm already typing in.
what the fuck is a man page
man man
...
same energy as "moon moon"
something related to mansplaining... /s
its a giant wall of text i have never used that can be opened with the terminal command man <othercommand>
where is literally any other command
Consider this, nearly every major distro (and some minor distros like Alpine) has a wiki (or is based on a Distro that does).
Thihi and sooner or later they all end up at the arch linux wikis.
We use arch btw.
I also use Arch btw :3

Hint: :q!
