Differences between terminals for "clear" #1492

Description

How could the content be improved?

On some terminals, including the default one that came with my PopOS/Gnome system, the clear command clears the scrollbuffer as well as the terminal output. This makes it impossible (as far as I know) to scroll up to see the content before the clear command was executed. This makes the last statement of the referenced section incorrect.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

## Clearing your terminal
If your screen gets too cluttered, you can clear your terminal using the
`clear` command. You can still access previous commands using <kbd>↑</kbd>
and <kbd>↓</kbd> to move line-by-line, or by scrolling in your terminal.
