Clarification: Just making fun of people(including myself) who watch shitty videos instead of official documentation.

    Man pages fucking suck, and I say that having been working with linux full time professionally for 11 years.

    The best ones have plenty of examples.

      Yeah, I’m writing code on Linux and for Linux and I use it extensively since 2012. I can remember maybe one or two times man was really helpful. Usually it’s an enormous book that somehow doesn’t contain exactly that bit information that you’re looking for

        Is there any reason to use tealdeer over just tldr aside from speed?

          I don’t know tbh. I used both and tldr was really slow when compared to man or even just DDGing, tealdeer is real fast
