TRUTH TIME! How many of you have actually read a user manual of an operating system completely? (sh.itjust.works)

I just tried to skim through Linux User Manual and it was really quite informative and made me think of reading it someday, but I kinda know for a fact that that someday might never come, but it's truly a shame though.

Now, you, yes you! Have you read the user manual of your Operating system!

We have a lot of machines that run on HP unix at work. I read a lot of those manuals as I didn't want to break anything. It's very annoying to use coming from modern Linux.

I read some of the 9front documentation and a lot of the Debian administrator's handbook. I'm weird and just like operating systems though.
