    what folder ? please tell me I’m just starting out. So far I’ve tried “man libwacom” (because I’m having trouble with my tablet) but it says there’s no entry for the package. Do most packages usually have a manual entry ?

      I found them under /usr/share/man/, then “man1”, “man2”, “man3” etc. based on the category system (which I think is like, libraries, syscalls, exes, something like that)

      I intuited /usr/share because almost everything the package manager installs will be under /usr somewhere, and man pages aren’t binaries or libraries, they’re architecture-independent, so they can’t be /usr/bin/ or /usr/lib, they’ll probably be in /usr/share and luckily I saw “man” under there.

      Hope that helps! Reading the FHS guide is a good learning experience but nobody should have to do it.
