I often want to read output from the terminal from the beginning but by default I have to scroll back up. This can be laborious when there is a lot of text. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks :)

It’s interesting that ‘less’ and ‘more’ have both been mentioned - when I was first starting with Linux, the fact ‘less’ is the newer, more advanced version of ‘more’ is the kind of jokey stuff that I couldn’t get my head around.
Anyway, depending on the output, another useful option can be piping it to ‘column’. There was a fun video about this the other day at https://piefed.social/post/401865 (the video itself is hosted by PeerTube).
