Use mandoc Instead Of man-db On Linux

Although I discovered and switched to mandoc a few months ago, I've had a tab open in Firefox for several months and I finally got around to reading it. I'm impressed by the amount of work that was put into mandoc. I'm obsessed with reducing latency of the tools on my terminal and mandoc is much more snappier than man-db, at least in my experience. If you live inside the terminal for most of your tasks and read man pages, try using mandoc instead of man-db. If your distribution doesn't package mandoc, you should use a different distribution.

I want to write man pages in mandoc too but, for now, scdoc is significantly more convenient to use.
