I wonder why apt search on ubuntu and debian must be so bad: on mint each package has a single line and an easy letter telling you if the program is installed or not. On debian/ubuntu each program takes multiple lines, are all green and the only way to distinguish installed ones is to look for an (installed) string at the end of the first line. I like Mint’s apt version so much

dpkg -l | grep ^ii
(and then cry (this step is non-optional))
I wonder how this is implemented in LMDE?
LMDE’s system is the same as regular Mint. I’ve been on LMDE for a few years but was on regular before that.
