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
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
$TERM, which informs the application of the capabilities of the terminal emulator.So if your remote servers don’t have color, either
$TERMisn’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.
