exa output itself hard to read--a slightly brighter yellow in some column of 'exa -l' is just about invisible on the pale yellow background I use in konsole. Not only do I have no idea what data is shown in that column, controlling the colours is ridiculously complex.
Back in the Dark Ages, I went straight from DOS to IBM AIX and from there to Linux--I never had occasion to use Windows, nor any interest in doing so.
It's annoying, though, that the environment at my kids' university seems to be Linux-hostile--freshman year, both kids insisted on getting Windows-based machines. (It's cool though that my rebel-with-a-million-causes son just recently replaced Windows on his machine with Fedora 28, and even my daughter had to get into some *Ix for some chemistry-department research she was doing.)
Also annoying is that my US Army son tells me that Windows is an absolute requirement in the Army--the networks won't even connect to Linux machines. I'd been under the vague impression that Microsoft's World Domination plotting had been swatted down a decade or more ago.
