Aha. Well, I guess I'm not the target audience because I can't be bothered to go through the installation steps. It's not in the LMDE repository, but I wish it were!
It's pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.
Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza
Hmm, that's not working for me. You mean use those as options? 'ls -eza'?
No, it's like an ls replacement: https://github.com/eza-community/eza

In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It's even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple
cargo install lsd
.No,
eza
is one of those modern Rust replacement programs. It replacesls
.There's a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here's a handy list: altbox.dev
I personally use
bat
andrg
all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.Edit: And to clarify, I didn't create either list, they're just ones I'd bookmarked at some point.
The mobile site doesn't have the list. I was so confused.
Ew, sorry. This list is similar and more accessible:

Even better than
rg
isrga
. Indeed, you have a fine list.
