Nala (a better looking apt?)
Nala (a better looking apt?)
If you are interested in finding a better looking (new) cli tool to perform most apt terminal functions Nala is worth a look. I have installed and run it successfully to perform my most common tasks successfully on PeppermintOS (Debian) and MXLinux (non-systemd Debian). Here's a link to the development site and software. Should you want to try it out....

It looks nice. Reminds me of the tool (I forgot the name) they use for packet management with ArchLinux.

Looks neat with all the frames and tabular data display. I also like the fact that it's GPLv3 and doesn't use nasty technology like nodejs. I'd prefer it to be C rather than Python though.

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
Very nice. I changed most of my apt aliases to nala. Works great!

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
I have done the same. My brain is taking awhile to catch up, though, when entering apt/nala commands in cli.

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
It will need some changes to make it into Debian, though, since the build accesses the Net and uses PIP to download and compile unknown code.
Usually Debian patches the build to use vetted system versions of those downloads instead.

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
I may try it if it makes it to the official repo. It doesn't solve any (nonexistent) issues I have with apt.

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
I still think it looks nice & works well. But then I don't have a distro to manage.

Re: Nala (a better looking apt?)
The current 0.8.2 is now in upstream Debian. I just managed to backport it to Bullseye for MX 21, but it needed quite a few additional python3 module backports to build, and then more to stop throwing up python error traces onto the console instead of pretty readouts.
