You Don't Need a GUI

Re:You Don't Need a GUI by weinzierl on Friday April 09, 2021 @04:10AM (#26747894)

    apropos apropos

if you forget that

    apropos apropos apropos

Recursion solves every problem;-)

More seriously: You can alias it to something you can remember, for example:

    alias help=apropos

'help' is already the shell's built-in help function in most cases. That'd be a poor choice of alias.

There are a small number of seed keywords which are ueeful to know. 'help' (shell), 'apropos', 'man' (online manual), 'info' (GNU documentation), and dwww (local documentation presented through a Web interface, available on Debian-based Linux, see https://ostechnix.com/dwww-view-complete-debian-documentatio...) are among them.

Knowledge requires a certain baseline.

If that's too much ... perhaps a GUI is in fact advisable.
