After several decades(?), it's going to take some getting used to the output from the new #Debian 'apt upgrade' output text.

I mean, this clear & legible. Who asked for this?? /s

@kevinbowen Wow, how dare they make the user experience better. I'm using Linux to torture myself, so I can brag about it to others. 😄

*Insert obligator XKCD 1172*

@kevinbowen And the autoremove suggestions are BRIGHT RED!

I've got one host on trixie and have been enjoying this for at least a couple months.

😀

@kevinbowen wow! Wait! Did they upgrade to dnf? No, that would be heresy! 🤪
@kevinbowen Fedora did weird things to their dnf, so apt better also do stuff to keep up and stay relevant!
@kevinbowen is this in sid? I haven't seen this in stable.

@stinerman

This is on testing/trixie. I just upgraded to it yesterday.

Generally, I've stayed on stable for ~2 years, then move over to testing a month or two before the new Xfce release. I fell a bit behind this year.

Then, I've usually remained on testing until a new stable release comes out.

@stinerman @kevinbowen I know this is on Trixie. I had to start using Trixie sources on my RPi running Armbian so I could get Java 21 (I think) for a Minecraft 1.21 server.
@kevinbowen for those who don't know, this came about due to the whole LTT Linux 30 day challenge "Yes I know what I'm doing" thing that happened.

@bakuninboys

Thanks?

Consider myself one of those folks who don't know. 🤣

I have no idea what any of that is. Could you point me to a TL;DR summary?

@kevinbowen well known YouTube channel used Linux for a month. Started by using PopOS. Strange issue meant steam could not be installed alongside Desktop. Person tried using GUI which forbade, went to CLI and apt-get gave usual vomit plus warning with "type 'yes I know what I'm doing' to continue". User proceeded to do that and broke his install, went to Arch, and just didn't have a great time on Linux. About a week later some fixes went into the verbiage, followed by significant work on usability of Apt.

@bakuninboys

Aha! Thank you for the explanation.

I mostly stopped using YouTube ~3-4 years ago. I appreciate it. That's a funny way to go about getting a way overdue change implemented.

I'm enjoying the tiny quality of life improvement so far.
