Just to be clear, was man installed but not man pages? Or man itself was not installed? I have found variations in exactly what man pages are available but man itself was installed on all I tested, and there were man pages available.
But if you have either no man installed or no man pages on Ubuntu Cinnamon or Mint, that doesn’t seem right. SteamOS is Arch based so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was no man by default.
Man itself but not the pages. Invoking the command results in a “No manual page exists”, and on SteamOS installing man pages (and the program) get overwritten with each update.
Strange. Ubuntu Cinnamon (What I use for my server), HoloISO (SteamOS, steamdeck), and my install of mint didn’t include the man pages.
I wonder if I had a setting that messed things up along the way.

Ah interesting, I wonder why that is. I definitely have man pages on the ones I checked.
