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.
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
that is vastly more readable, not only thanks to the colors, but the indentation, new lines, and straightforward section titles are a huge improvement.
Check out Zsh, Oh My Zsh!, and Powerlevel10K. Then add plugins from zsh-users for zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting. It’s made using the terminal so much nicer for me.
Kinda miffed they didn’t include a screenshot of the colors, but I’m guessing the readability will be vastly better!
Here are some from another article. It looks really nice.

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.

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”.
Looks like how zypper does it
I hate it, makes me look much less like a hacker while installing pre-built software from other people
😂
But it has more green, isn’t that the hacker color?
Just switch to green on black. Immediate street cred boost
computer people have upvotes not street cred
Just do it on ARM or RISC-V. RISC architecture changes everything.
looks splendid :3
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.
