Just giving my +1 about what others have said:

in terminal man to get an overview of a command and usage, tldr.sh is a “tldr” of those same man pages simplified and very user friendly, and apropos to search man pages by description to find tools that do what you wanna do.

Ex usage:

man ls gives an overview of how ls works

tldr ls gives a quick user friendly overview of how ls works (after installing it, or using the site tldr.sh)

apropos compress will search man pages and output a list of commands that have “compress” in the description

Linux has an overwhelmingly large amount of commands or things you can do, it’s good to learn a subset of common things, but arguably more important to learn how to quickly find info on the fly using tools like the above to reference as you do things. I’ve used Linux for about a decade, but still only use the same 5-10 or so commands regularly in the terminal, and look up anything else whenever I need.

Thanks for sharing this, looked into it myself and that’s quite unfortunate.

Why does every piece of cool software end up having some reactionary midlife crisis behind them?
