"I find your posts more and more aggressive, and less and less informed about very basic things concerning your chosen operating system"

Hmm, very sorry and embarrassed about this; it's not intentional, just a result of not having anybody advise me about this behaviour (until now), and other somewhat lame excuses about age, infirmity etc. I'll try to be a bit more community minded in future.

Suggestion: get some basic information about Linux and its manpages.
That should help you understand notations like <var><X|Y> (though you
seem to have realised the <...> notation represents a variable, while trying
to hide that...)

I find your posts more and more aggressive, and less and less informed about
very basic things concerning your chosen operating system (chosen, as it's
really hard to get a pre-installed Linux system, let alone get it by
accident).

If by any chance Linux was forced on you by one of your children, ask them to
explain the basics?
