Kinda miffed they didn’t include a screenshot of the colors, but I’m guessing the readability will be vastly better!

I hate it, makes me look much less like a hacker while installing pre-built software from other people
Just switch to green on black. Immediate street cred boost
computer people have upvotes not street cred
But it has more green, isn’t that the hacker color?
Just keep “hollywood” running in another terminal at all times.
😂
that is vastly more readable, not only thanks to the colors, but the indentation, new lines, and straightforward section titles are a huge improvement.
And proper package name alignment!
I’m just surprised the purists aren’t all up in arms that this isn’t KISS and that it doesn’t fit in their 80x24 teletype.
… sorry, guess I’m not over that whole systemd “debate”.
I love this change, actually, I’m not a boring-text purist. Proper categorizing of data allows me to spot things at a glance much easier, and I’m all in favor of anything that can improve efficiency and understanding, especially for new folks, so we can improve product adoption.
I’m using sid and i’m loving thia change. It’s an obvious visual cue to check if i’m about to remove something important like my whole desktop environment lol
I didn’t know I needed multi-coloured terminal text until I saw the 2nd image. It looks so much more readable!

It’s not only more readable because of the color, they also rearranged everything.
Install and run “btop”.
You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.
Looks like how zypper does it
There are some screenshots in this article:
Nala is a much nicer frontend for apt, which includes additional features like parallel downloads
i tought apt already did this if you were downloading from different mirrors?
10 year old bug?
What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽
… Fuck
I’m using nala for some time now, it is pretty 😀 (it is a frontend for apt, with colours, history, undo, etc)
Not one single screen shot.
And this is what Debian users will be doing more often : Installing, uninstalling and installing software just because APT and nala is so pretty and colorful. It adds a whole new flavor to the art of Procrastination 😁

Cool now do parallel downloads and I’ll quit using Nala
Y’all need Nala. Debian should just make it their default and call it a day.
Nala is too cool but kinda messy if you resize terminal. It puts things in box hsing unicode characters and nake it look like some gui. Also nala is using python-apt and it also require apt. This brings out of the box ecperience with apt itself
Edit: typos
i tought debian didnt have colored terminals by default? at least my server installs don’t.
“Color terminal” isn’t a thing. Applications can choose to output ANSI escape codes which most terminal emulators will render as color changes. Whether and which colors get used depends on the value of
, which informs the application of the capabilities of the terminal emulator.So if your remote servers don’t have color, either
isn’t being set or its value is unknown to the server. Most modern terminal emulators support at least the same escape codes asxterm-256colorthough so you can always try to export that.
nala
Take that snap!
