For those who prefer a GUI approach to viewing man pages <https://www.zdnet.com/article/my-2-favorite-tools-for-reading-linux-manual-pages-the-easy-way/>: both GNOME and KDE offer help-centre apps that can display them. Also, I long ago discovered that KDE Konqueror (the all-encompassing web/file/whatnot browser) and its less-ambitious alternative Dolphin, can both view man pages via “man://” URLs, and also GNU info pages via “info://” URLs. And, within one of these Linux groups -- I forget which one -- we recently discussed how to put together a command line that will display a nicely typeset PDF view of a man page. I tried looking for an obvious equivalent to that for info pages, but couldn’t see one.
