I wonder why colorizing manpages like this is not default in most distros. That seems like an obvious thing to configure for end user’s quality of life.

My best guess would be that each terminal could display differently or be buggy and a “lowest common denominator” approach where it work everywhere. I know blue tends to be to dark unless I change the color to a lighter shade and the font could make a difference as well.

No

I wasn’t intending to come off confrontational, I apologize for that. I was looking at this from it sounding like you wanted any command on a system. I did find that you can colorize man. see script below for an example. As for busybox, it is a small project, so colorizing just it would be relatively easy and easy to add as a patch to a system. Not sure if that would upstream though as it is intended to work well on low memory systems among others.

#!/bin/bash

export PAGER="less -r"
export GROFF_NO_SGR=1
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'

man ls

Edit: it does seem that this man colorization is disabled by default.

Edit2: “export MANROFFOPT=-c” can replace “export GROFF_NO_SGR=1” to limit just man.

I am getting the feeling the you are mis-understanding than each project has their own independent implementing function and that each one would need to be rewritten. There a 10 of thousands of projects. This is not some simple, change 1 project task.

16 Color terminals didn’t really start getting used until the 90s and early 2000s. And 256 after that. A lot of software was written back then and it would take a lot to add something that might not display well because of the terminal’s color scheme and now we have color theming.

I agree, I just didn’t want to make assumptions about how newer things work with localization these days.

Not everything uses groff. A lot will have their own function or another.

Edit: I think for what you indicting you are wanting to try you’d need to either patch your shell of choice or write your own.

Edit2: If you did patch it, the best way I can think of to get something upstreamed would be to patch bash to use CTRL-Enter to automatically pipe the output to the default pager defined in BASHPAGER followed by PAGER if it doesn’t exist. Then set the BASHPAGER to your “bat” command.

Or if you are lazy you could add “-h” as an option to said help command for when --help doesn’t work. Shouldn’t take to long to to make a list with a script that runs each command to with --help and logs it all to a file though. Then just go look for the ones that don’t like it in the log. Apparently bash has a builtin command named help, so a different name is probably better then.

ls -1 $dir | while read line do echo “----------” $line --help |& >> logfile.txt done

Just search in you favorite pager for “-----” and just hit “next” key.

You’d be intercepting all commands just to verify if they have a help flag and then if not executing them as they were intended. If the intercept got broke, then the shell would be completely broken.

I think your best bet to to create a script called help and run “help <command>” and the script would do the rest.

Swap is used to defrag ram on linux. Could be related to that. In any case this is pretty normal. I have 43Gi available and it is used 700Mi of swap.

I agree. There are times when I speak to someone that has an unfamiliar accent that my brain has trouble processing. They can be speaking fluent English , but I still struggle.

Wouldn’t it better to just stop acknowledging Tesla and stop pretending that it is a premium brand?

I don’t think it should have a significant effect on performance. On the other hand gamescope is broken on my system right now. There are probably plus and minuses of both.

Great. now how long till we can game without nesting the game inside gamescope?

It is easier. Raster based rendering does a lot of cheats to make it look realistic that the devs have to come up with and write. To do 4K you need to calculate over 8 million rays and their bounces. Very processor intensive, but much simpler from a programming point of view.

Now the difference between some of those settings on low and ultra are not really worth it is some cases as they look basicly the same.

Overall these ray tracing methods are leading to more realistic raster based rendering as the devs can actively see the “problem” areas and make or fix the cheats to look better.

Glad they came to their senses. I had trouble setting up one as I have/had a sony group account with no security info which is needed to reset the password. Turns out sony doesn’t filter periods from usernames from email. Just ended up adding a couple to my email address for a new account.

Not sure why you are so worried. Based on those requirements a Radeon rx 6800 should be able to do Ultra 4K @ 60. The main differentiator seems to be vram.

Quantum computing. The nuclear fusion of computers. I wonder how long they will be 10 years away.

I am using a 4080 on Plasma 6 wayland. It works pretty well. DLSS works. I haven’t tried frame generation, but I think support was added recently. Occasionally I have a wake problem, but I believe that is bios related. I am encountering a gamescope blackscreen freezing issue.

Only stuttering I am experiencing is a Steam overlay bug and Bluetooth interference sometimes.

Compositor choice and how recent of release will effect your experience as they are all independent implementations and still improving.

I wouldn’t expect that a 20 series card to be a specifically buggier experience over the 40 and 30 series though.
