Output from nala upgrade is more readable than nala list --upgradable

[georgeoshardo]

I wonder if the output of nala list --upgradable should look like more part of the output from nala upgrade Since using nala, I rarely use nala list --upgradable since i find it too similar to apt's default behavior, rather I just use nala upgrade because I think the output is more informative. However I do not like having to wait for the package list update every time I run it.

E.g the output from nala list --upgradable looks like:

This is nice because it contains a short description of each package, however for large upgrades, the list can get very very long, and it becomes hard to recognise large updates. Additionally, I know what most of the packages on my system do, and if I do not, then I can look it up for that specific package.

However the pre-upgrade view, in my opinion, is great, it's more compact, and the colouring makes it easier to see what are major and what are minor upgrades. I like viewing this output but I do not like having to often wait for the package list update to finish.
