      I use apt-get, I don’t care about how “pleasing” the package manager is, I just want it to do its job and get off the way… But pacman… I don’t know why, but it’s so beautiful, charming and cute, how do they do it?

        exactly. They use c and C (uppercase) alternatively, making it look like pacman is eating. hence the beautiful, charming, and cute progress indicator

        btw dont think im crazy but ive set max parallel downloads to 200 and when i do a system update, damn that looks so good.

        I don’t care how visually pleasing it is either, but I often find apt(-get) difficult to read.

        For example, a simple thing that zypper does, is that when listing the packages to be installed, it colors the first letter of each package, which makes it a lot easier to scan through the packages.
