Do you have man-db installed?
man -k is just an alias for apropos

>Do you have man-db installed?
Yeah.
man -K seems to provide a more similar usage to what I remember
still it's strange I remember being able to run like "man -k wireless" and get told about wpa_supplicant etc.

since this is a linux thread i would just like to interject for a moment and mention that i use arch btw

why?
Might as well use gentoo, even if the wiki is total crap these days

I never really figured out how to get my own self-installed man files into the man -k index, I wrote one for one of my tools and it doesn't even show up, I also install a bunch of tools via git clone and those don't show up either even though they work normally with man [program name], maybe it's because I keep them in ~/.local/man and ~/.local/share/man, programs just seem to do whatever they want, man seems to find them fine, i dont get it

distros are a meme, you either use debian or you're using arch because it's become the femboy distro of choice

>>20840
Debian's dead though

debian is the cleanest just wurks distro even if you ignore it's internal problems like ageism and nepotism out the asshole, their aging package maintainers randomly dropping dead and all their maintained packages being dropped from the debian distrubution because nobody else will do it rather than any sho-stopping bugs with the packages themselves, they have outright refused to adopt more modern methods of reporting bugs or participating in the community, they will NEVER move away from mailing lists.
There really is no point in filing bug reports with debian, they go ignored, go report it upstream if they haven't fixed the issue with the newest version.

sometimes I feel like I should just switch to gentoo because I find myself installing more and more software from source and I wrote scripts to do this for me, I don't wanna spend hours compiling software though, my entire base linux environment is a minimalistic 4GB and carving out my own niche is fun.

I used to use debian on laptops and gentoo on towers, but these days I just use gentoo because I don't want to use systemd. I've set things up on friend's machines which use it and it's needlessly painful, not to mention all the documentation for it is super ultra gay and retarded. At least doing things the 'right' way, if not in the manual, usually has a thread of someone doing it somewhere or you can get good advice thirdhand etc. The scum who prune useful information out of handbooks and write the goyslop documentation have no idea what they're doing and don't want your machiens to work so getting things to work on 'nonstandard' installs using their tools is basically all your own work.
Maybe it's different if you're less of a luser but I kind of doubt that tbh.
>I don't wanna spend hours compiling software though
Compiling gentoo sources (the maximalistic kernal) takes like 30hrs on a refurbished thinkpad.
At least portage seems robust against dependency hell, unlike apt-get.
>my entire base linux environment is a minimalistic 4GB
Isn't that huge? My random shit thrown together working environment is 3.4G total including all media.

nvim's defaults (in general, and on gentoo where they aren't changed even though they should be) make me want to kill myself
who the fuck thought they should load a 20GB script to add autoindent (a 'feature' zero humans have ever wanted or will ever want)?

I was on the fence about hating systemd but then I found out you can do crazy dumb shit within a system-sleep hook script like this so you can avoid having to write or enable systemd unit services to clear your ssh-agent on suspend

shit's wild, thanks ChatGPT!

On further inspection it seems like it's just nvim tings
The official solution for removing folding (implemented by a clunky script) is to allow the script to run and then following that, automatically running a command every time you open a file/window/buffer to softdisable folding. There is no compiletime support, even though folding was entirely an optional feature in vim.
