manpages.wtf

The man pages you'll actually read.

You opened the man page. You saw 4,000 lines of flags you’ll never use. You closed it. You Googled it. You ended up on some ad-infested site that told you to install a GUI app.

And you did it. You bloated your system with crap that you could have done with a few commands you’d never have to change again. But instead, you installed something that’s running as a service, sending telemetry back to a bunch of shady tracking sites, running in the background, silently laughing at you while it eats your system resources.

No. Change that. It’s time to come back to the light, and away from the dark side of shit-coded apps.

These are the parts of the man page that actually matter — the 20% you’ll use 99% of the time — explained by someone who’s tired of watching you right-click your way through life.
