Yes, SEO is a major reason for it; ad-infested and LLM-generated pages rank very high in search results. But even if I work around those (with Kagi, for example), it's harder still: Searching things like x86-64, POSIX, ABI's, etc, rarely yields results for me. Authoritative content is thin and spread out across disparate man-pages. Some things are left out completely undocumented. LLM's seems especially helpless dealing with low level topics.
A large portion of this field feels like folklore knowledge, and I didn't even get outside x86-64 on Linux; I can imagine it's much less approachable in the embedded world.
Can you relate? How do you deal with it?
Do you have any recommendation from your experience/knowledge?
