    I didn’t get that.

    Checked the man and it’s not deprecated. So what does it have to do with “old”?

      Nowadays most Linux users seem to use ssh user@host. When I was getting started, that didn’t exist (or at least I was unaware of it) so I still frequently use the -l flag instead.

      Nothing wrong with it, just that at least I mostly encounter its use by experienced users.
