Describe the bug
Currently in the terminal, entering: "man " will spawn a browser which isn't very helpful if you're not connected to the internet. (particularly if you're trying to read man pages to get on the internet) ;)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start a terminal when not connected to the internet
  2. type: man /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  3. web browser opens up and cannot load

Expected behavior
man page should be viewable in terminal as a fallback option if internet is unavailable (or even better should always be available as an option)

Version (please complete the following information):

  • helloSystem 0.8.1
  • helloSystem experimental 13.2 latest

Computer (please complete the following information):

  • framework laptop

That's an unintended consequence of using using HTML versions from the internet. We need to find a way to show locally stored man pages in a web browser or other suitable GUI application. As a workaround, use the other man command (/usr/bin/man vs. /usr/local/bin/man).
