> Let's start with: there is no such thing as "Linux" man pages. There's <https://docs.kernel.org> but that only concerns the kernel itself.
Actually, there is.
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages....
It's included with many default distro installs.
This is technically true, but this pretty much exactly illustrates my point. The SCM URL you've provided, you have to dig it up. It refers you to <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/index.html>, which again, is a personal website of a member of the community. Then e.g. the fnctl(2) page comes from the 6.10 kernel release - AFAICT I can't browse the past releases or track HEAD. Compare with <https://man.openbsd.org> or <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi>, you can find both straight from the landing pages.
Meanwhile if you can't find man7.org (Google search results are only getting worse) and start browsing <https://docs.kernel.org>, it refers you to <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/> which refers you to <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/maintaining.html>, <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/missing_pages.html>, and Wikipedia - none of which seem to be relevant, can't tell because it's a wall of text rather than a man page browser.
Now imagine you have to fix a b0rked system that can't display its own man pages. You're now stuck with this mess.
