Here’s something you don’t see every day: a major update to apt, the default package manager for Debian and derivative Linux distributions. Apt 3.0.0, accepted into Debian Sid (unstable) last Friday (4th), has a special appeal thanks to its revamped UI, featuring columns, padding, and even colors (!) to make outputs easier to read.
Apt 3.0.0 will be available in Debian 13 “Trixie”, scheduled for mid-2025, and in Ubuntu 25.04, which is expected to be released later this April.
