    Obilgatory reminder to actually read the manpage. They were written for a reason. If you can’t do that then either install a version of the “tldr” program like “tealdeer” or use curl cheat.sh/

      I refuse to read manpages because I hate mansplaining and I wont have The Man tell me what to do.

      Personally I find the built in --help option to be much more useful than manpages. Manpages are excessively wordy and almost never have info I’m looking for without having to search.

      Built in help options usually concisely list all the options with a brief explanation of what they do. That’s perfect.

      Instructions unclear, stuck in a loop of running random commands to install tldr and not reading the package manager’s man page
