I feel old. I remember when we moved from telnet and rlogin to ssh and this was in the man page. I'm also happy to learn kids are still using terminals and ssh.
They know the man pages exist and they want to use them, but most are written to merely be consistent in format and not necessarily in content. The worst thing to omit is examples.
This is my experience with manpages, they're great if you sort of know what you need or want deep CLI options reference but often lack in recipes or examples.
Man pages are too long and technical for 70% of casual use when the answers are a Google away. Normal usage patterns don't involve using every option, and that's what man pages are focused on documenting.
I'm not sure why a video of a 60's TV show would be useful when you're trying to get an explanation of command line options for common posix commands. But you do you.
I’ve been around Unixes since the early 90s and was around for the transition away from telnet and I only learned about this about 5 years ago. Shoulda read the whole man page, I guess.
Yikes. Yeah. Went on ebay thinking they couldn't possibly be THAT expensive. I was wrong. I wonder if there's a market for a $200 VT420 clone built with a FPGA that has a USB connection for a keyboard and a HDMI connector for a monitor?
