what’s wrong with man pages?
You need to read them apparently? I don’t know, this is weird
I’m starting to see this a lot. Some man-pages are very verbose and one might not have the time, but for the most part, opening a man page and lessing through it doesn’t take too long, and it’s usually up-to-date
They’re the best. I mean, just look at the alternative that Windows offers… oh wait there isn’t any.
Some man pages are just gigantic lists of unintuitive parameters in alphabetical order with no usage examples and even if you know how to search for text in a man page (forward slash then the text you want to search for) you’re just stabbing in the dark.
Others are excellent.
The problem with man pages is that you never know if you’re getting the former or the latter.
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 --helpin windows opening a stupid browser. Somebody should be defenestrated for that decission.alias git="DISPLAY= git"
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
How can you feel good about yourself if you aren’t shaming people with less technical capabilities? Next you’ll say something crazy like believing in yourself. Nonsense, crazy person. Get out of here.
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
Am I the only one using tldr?
Well today my life just got easier. Thank you for the recommendation!
Tldr is awesome.
Man pages save me an online search multiple times per week. Not sure that you’re no about
It’s a /s meme.
Actually man page good
Anyone who thinks this is just incapable of navigating them.
It’s a /s meme, I thought it was obvious.
I think you accidently made a meme that is just too close to the truth to be seen as sarcastic
Didn’t made it, I stole it. I rarely make memes… but I do a lot of looting 😁.
That’s why I seldom use man pages, TBH. But I’m no developer, my needs are simple.
Wrong meme. The dark place is systemd.
Was this bullshit meme created by AI?
man “app” | grep “search keyword”
Laughs in RHCSA exam.
Yhea, you really learn to dig through the man pages and, if you didn’t already know, learn that they are quite helpful.
“tldr pages. Simplified and community-driven man pages. The tldr pages are a community effort to simplify the beloved man pages with practical examples.”
A lot of people in here need tldr before getting comfortable with man it seems
