I dont enjoy web searching every time. Id like to just have some sort of document I can read or search to find certain commands.

I do have the man pages on kiwix but is a little complex to navigate. Like if I want to learn how grep works, what’s the best way. Or if I forgot lshw, how do you go about looking up a command that does a certain thing like list out hardware etc.

Showing examples would be super helpful too, like “here’s a typical dd command for a drive image clone”

Preferably a desktop/android app or something that helps with this would be nice.

    man, but preferably BSD ones. They’re terrific. It pays to get comfortable with the pager (man less), but for web rendering, https://man.openbsd.org/ is great. I don’t know why these other man sites use monospace fonts, the language man pages are written in was literally made for quality typesetting!
