    Using curl as a substitute for man/help has made it one of my most used commands for me as of late:

    curl cheat.sh/AnyLinuxCommand to view tldr/cheat tips

    Also great for the weather via curl wttr.in

    Hopefully more commands utilize this technique

      Thanks for the tip! I sometimes use the program tldr for this purpose.

        tldr is also baked into cheat.sh too! (But it’s redundant if you already have tldr/bro/etc installed probably)

      Unfortunately wttr.in produces incorrect weather reports in many cities around the world

        Did not know about this. Care to elaborate?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
