Since I had to switch to Ubuntu I was looking for a way to make the output of apt more user friendly.
TIL about -V, which is already helpful, and nala, which is very close to dnf output. Nice!
@zhenech @liquidat Do not worry. This tool is even available for Debian. 😉

@dhoppe @liquidat I'm happy with the new apt UI and dnf(4) ;)
@zhenech @liquidat Fair enough, but can apt do parallel downloads?
@dhoppe @liquidat No, why would one need that?
@zhenech @liquidat One of the many mirrors might use traffic shaping and some packages are a pain to download, for example gitlab-runner. One day I might have the time to figure out why this package is that big.
