They're actually better on Free/Open BSD in my experience. As stupid as it makes me sound, I often struggle to parse Linux man pages, but the BSD's I've had no trouble with for a variety of topics.

Isn't this how --help usually works? I would also rather have more documentation embedded, at least for some executables.

FreeBSD has pretty good documentation.

Comparatively, I’ve found NetBSD documentation to be lacking, although NetBSD seems to take the cake on code quality and legacy architectures (a feature I find my delve right now.

On the wider discussion of doc, I’ve found Linux kernel documentation to be a pain in the ass, and sometimes ever worse than windows kernel documentation (which I won’t even both to get into)
