I dont enjoy web searching every time. Id like to just have some sort of document I can read or search to find certain commands.

I do have the man pages on kiwix but is a little complex to navigate. Like if I want to learn how grep works, what's the best way. Or if I forgot lshw, how do you go about looking up a command that does a certain thing like list out hardware etc.

Showing examples would be super helpful too, like "here's a typical dd command for a drive image clone"

Preferably a desktop/android app or something that helps with this would be nice.

eg although I usually forget to use it and just go with manpages.

I have several decades of using manpages, so you can understand the manpage reflex. If you don't have that manpage muscle memory, I'd say give eg a shot.
