Ask HN: Are Linux HowTos dead? Why?

Somehow it just got me: Linux HowTos haven't been created or maybe even updated since ca. 2007.

https://www.linuxhowtos.org/

I haven't been using them for last 20 years... I still remember how useful they were in my early Linux days in 1999-2002. I will never forget the one about making coffee (http://fotis.home.cern.ch/fotis/Coffee.html). I made the relay circuit built into a power supply and that was so much fun!

But now they are all forgotten. Dead even. Why?
