Hello Linux community.

I’d like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it’s more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It’s not that we’re lazy or don’t like reading, it’s just that it doesn’t work efficiently enough.

    often on linux, you can simply type man <command> and get TFM

    i would agree with you about GUI apps, where it can be confusing.

      Yeah, that’s what I meant by “the manual”. Though I suppose the Linux community is the most likely to be flipping through a physical book to figure out their bash script.
