And perhaps TTFM.
Translate the fucking manual either from broken chinese-english or the tech-lingo + missing context information which is almost every manpage on Linux, making it nearly useless for the average user unless you got hours and hours of time to understand all the adjacent concepts and commands.
This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.
Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.
try to RTFM for Microsoft…lol shits updated too much and all the old information is still there and outdated. convoluted mess of shit is all they are
still, RTFM…always
In order to RTFM one must first WTFM
And FTFM. Find the fucking manual.

Microsoft documentation actually sucks information out of your brain and leaves you knowing less than before you read it.

Or the documentation is basically empty and tells you nothing at all (looking at you WinRT…)
MSFT’s strategy is anti-documentation.
