I just detected exa mentioned here. Homepage: https://the.exa.website/ github: https://github.com/ogham/exa Looks good. Worth a try, IMHO.
I didn't say that something is wrong with ls. There are some differences and advantages of exa over ls, though. As its homepage says: So nothing spectacular but a possible alternative for ls.
I believe in significant-change replacements. There has to be enough to warrant it. This is the problem with most distros, they offer only tiny benefits one over another. Mrk
