Yeah. I recommend the TLDR terminal tool. You can contribute command TLDRs. If there is a one for said command, you can type tldr comad and it will give you some valid uses and example commands.
I knew about tldr, I’m old Linuxoid now, but didn’t know you could contribute. I’ll give it another go. By this point though… I’ve already been through the hellfire.
Especially when you don’t have a US keyboard. How the fuck am I supposed to navigate through the info document when the key combination to follow links is Ctrl+] and ] itself is hidden behind some modifier combo?
And then the manpage goes:
Stop trying to make info a thing. It’s not going to be a thing.
I used a tool yesterday whose manpage told me to look into --help for full list of commands. The audacity!
They could’ve just copy-pasted it! And --help should be a brief, easy-to-understand list of commands and explanations, not an extension
Some examples and common uses would be nice…

That’s basically just GNU programs

Sounds like it needs better localization
It needs to die in a fire. All hail man pages!
