It would be really cool if every operating system included a "help" command that printed some kind of help page that could take someone from absolute ELI5 noob to LEET shell scripter or even kernel developer without having to poke around on the web.
The closest I've seen to this is #OpenBSD which sends local mail to every new user that has an introduction and directs them to peruse Afterboot(8): man.openbsd.org/afterboot

In the age of disinformation and propaganda, how can the average person know the truth.
The answer is NOT Google, #ChatGPT, or blogs.

Such books stand the test of time.

…just that summer, her state had made [#abortion] a #felony, w/few exceptions. Any #doctor who violated the new #Georgia #law could be prosecuted & face up to a decade in #prison.
#AmberThurman waited in #pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-yr-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking & her organs beginning to fail.
It took 20 hrs for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.
The otherwise healthy 28-year-old medical assistant, who had her sights set on nursing school, should not have died, an official #Georgia state committee recently concluded.
Tasked w/examining #pregnancy-related #deaths to improve #MaternalHealth, the experts, including 10 doctors, deemed hers “#preventable” & said the #hospital’s delay in performing the critical procedure [#abortion] had a “large” impact on her #fatal outcome.

As Trump fumes over his debate fiasco and new data offers good news to Kamala Harris, a veteran Democratic pollster explains the deeper causes for optimism lurking under the fresh numbers.
This is just amazing. Read for yourself (not very long) about IRL Springfield Ohio residents rallying around and helping their Haitian neighbors. It'll bring tears to your eyes. THIS is the America *I* live in!!! F**K Trump, JayDee, and all the horses they rode in on!!!!!!

"Do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don’t,” Vance continued. “I also don’t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No."
I am fairly sure she is running for First Lady, though.

I remember that spiral-bound mini-tome!
I also remember the *amazing* manuals that the #C64 and #CommodoreAmiga machines came with. Probably others of the era (that I'm not as familiar with), as well.
Heck, even my #Macintosh SE came with a great spiral-bound manual with amazing illustrations/screenshots.

True, but respect for having such good hardware documentation, at least!
It would be neat to have some kind of OS-neutral POSIX/UNIX documentation that can be distributed with any UNIX.
