As a user the end result is the same: my system has this thing ‘hnget’ that I need to use, yet it’s not documented. I don’t care whose fault it is. Linux land can certainly be bad in the sense that many distributors don’t document the system. They just bolt stuff together, sometimes with multiple layers of bolting (Distro X is based on Ubuntu that’s based on Debian, so which method am I “supposed to” use? If I use this new shiny package manager front end, will that interfere with the old command-line tool that works on Debian?) For this reason I shy away from derivative distributions. But even then, the Linux user land and kernel are not models of superior documentation.
