IF there is documentation, IF it is even covered in documentation, IF documentation is using the sameish keywords, IF documentation is accurate and IF documentation is up to date.
AKA not nix/nixos.

what's wrong with nixos?
I recently switched and the documentation is both extremely necessary (no other distro is even a little similar to setup) and TERRIBLE
I'll be honest. I just followed a video tutorial
I mean, it's fine. And if you can't find something the NixOS subreddit is usually pretty helpful
Looking at you, Texas Instruments
Bro what? TI has like... the best docs. What are you talking about? They have the Microsoft C# docs of the semiconductor world. Clear examples, every little detail, well organized. Darn near perfect example of what to do
Not really. I haven't worked with a TI mcu for a while so I can't talk about their mcu docs, but their sections describing data exchanges between the IC and your mcu usually has a lot of ambiguity that needs to be clarified through trial and error.
People tend to say this about everything. I read someone's about Qt Documentation and that is after having learnt to do with Qt in 1 month using solely the Qt Creator's F1, that I took over 3 months with STL.
I see this is not your first rodeo!
