Look, I don't need all of the options, just give me an example command for the common use case

Jesus Christ, if I didn't know already what to type I would never figure it out

Like all the examples on that page under the header "examples"?

Skill issue tbh.

When you use the man pages from the terminal it's not so easy to skip to them

Sounds like you need to spend some time in man more

man find
/thing you want to find

Should be enough to skip right to what you want.

It's also a terminal application, but that one in particular is deprecated

This one isn't

tldr is in my distro's repos so it's easy enough to install
