Hi,

I saw there https://askubuntu.com/questions/9325/what-is-the-difference-between-man-and-info-documentation that info is "better" than man because is outdated. Still right in 2023 ?

Can you provide any source that it was created or initiated by what you call 'a crazed bunch of emacs zealots', or that the goal was to 'unsurp the rightful position of "man"'. Quite bold statements that are unlikely to be true imho.

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.
