Nala is a New Package Manager for Debian and Ubuntu

Nala is an apt frontend for Debian and Ubuntu and distros based on them. Why use Nala over apt? Nala has some really fancy output and offers faster installs via parallel downloading. In this video, I will install Nala with Pacstall. Then I will show some of the basic Nala commands.

Nala also has one extremely important feature that apt doesn't: READABILITY

[phaedrus]

Your presentation has a great pace. Not too fast, not too wordy, just great. Thank you.

I believe Nala also has a history and rollback system.

[GiveAcademy]

My favorite part of nana is the history and ability to roll back to a specific point.

Back in my day, we resolved dependencies by hand.

I love little stuff like this. It doesn't really do much (aside from parallel installs) but just looks really cool. I wanna use it, and I don't even use debian lol

[mysteriousboozebunny]

I only learned about Nala last week. Game changer on Debian based distros if you ask me.

[attomic]

I don't use distros based on Debian, but it's always nice to see projects like these gaining some exposure.

[swapnilkanyal]

As a Debian user and Pop os fan l must check out Nala for sure!

[ukyoize]

Nala is straight up in Debian Testing's repo

[cbbcbb]

Thanks. Very useful.
Nala also fixes much of the annoying terminal output clutter of apt. Everytime I use apt, I have to hope my eyeballs don't shutdown from trying to decipher the screen output.

Its the front end to libapt under Ubuntu Rhino. The package manager is Pacstall. Rhino-init handles updates.

Is there a pref file to change colors etc....? Excellent video Derek!!!! 🙂

[philippeheyvaert]

This output is very nice. I'm using the dracula theme in gnome terminal... very very nice. Good job developers! Nice video DT, as always.

As always writing a comment to support the channel

Nala fetch will get the closest fastest mirror as well which is super helpful, Nala history is super cool for rolling back things easily, love it

[Nonas_a_Blerd]

To avoid having to manually add fetched mirrors, run: doas (or sudo) nala fetch --auto --fetches 8 --country US. This will automatically add 8 US-based mirrors to
Thanks for all you do

You can get parallel downloads from apt-fast, which also makes the output from apt slightly prettier. If installed, it is also used with Topgrade, which is pretty cool. You then get parallel downloads for apt while upgrading the packages installed by all your other package managers.

I love nala. Thanks to chris Titus a few weeks ago!

Nala is a lot better than apt,
It just a lot more than just bling
It's easier to read, parallel downloading...

In my opinion apt is the most archaic of all package manager
