Many Linux man pages points to info(1). Nothing is worse than info. I would rather search facebook for help on Linux than use info :)
- teddyh 2y agoIf you have ever used the terminal-based standalone “info” program, please try to forget all about it. Use Emacs to read Info documentation, and preferably use a graphical Emacs instead of a terminal-based one; Info documentation occasionally has images. Also, the enforced structure of man pages does not encourage good documentation: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6655417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6655417>
