      I hate it, makes me look much less like a hacker while installing pre-built software from other people

      that is vastly more readable, not only thanks to the colors, but the indentation, new lines, and straightforward section titles are a huge improvement.

        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 love it, but as someone with a red-green colour blind coworker, I always try to use blue for positive feedback, and orange for negative, as its better for representation for most colourblind types.

          That’s a great callout, and something we should be considering more often

          I wish FreeDesktop would standardize CLIs taking their application colours from the user theme so that colourblindness is catered for.

      I didn’t know I needed multi-coloured terminal text until I saw the 2nd image. It looks so much more readable!
