Seems useless, as Red Hat does not write documentation

Red Hat has some of the most professional documentation of any distro. E.g https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_...

Much of it is behind a paywall though. I manage more than a hundred licenced RHEL machines, was an RHCSA and RHCE with a company mail but I'd have to ask someone in my org to give me access. I just blocked access.redhat.com on kagi. F you.

Most of the 'docs' are not behind the paywall, you're mixing up the KCS / FAQ's.

The docs are on https://docs.redhat.com/

I didn't mix it up but most of the time I stumble upon redhat.com it's KCS (access.redhat.com) articles. Yes it's not "documentation" but if it's worth to create an article because that many people have the same issue I'd say you could add it to your documentation as known issues.

I dont think that google is indexing that without a login/subscription though. TIL.
