Is this good expected human readable info below?
:-D
I meant that when a human issues the command "update-alternatives --list default-displaymanager", we expect to be told which one is the active one, but no. So instead we have to use "update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager", which does tell us, albeit expecting an input from us to change it.
I've adjusted the terminal hostname and cursor colors here on this machine. How can I remove that easily in Thunderbird composed messages once pasted into reply?
Hum. When I paste from the terminal in XFCE, there are two "copy" commands or versions: one copies plain text, the other copies html. The second is the one that includes the colour information. Maybe KDE includes it always. To remove the colour in Thunderbird, you can select the paragraph, then menu "format", remove styles. Or colour, and choose a colour (black). The first one, as you can see, destroys the format, so you have to select again "preformat".
Me, I would leave it in red.
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: ^C localhost:~ # update-alternatives --list default-displaymanager /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm localhost:~ #update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager There are 3 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers /default- displaymanager).

Anyway, as you can see, your system is indeed using sddm.

XDM is triggering SDDM I think. Here Using KDE Konsole 23.08.4 once highlighted text is right clicked the context menu shows only 1 option to copy. I pasted this below (without formatting). There are no colors now I believe.

So the way to go is *paste without formatting* probably. I do not know when I just looked through Konsole settings for Default 4 (which I am using currently). Why after becoming root the #+hostname is red maybe goes with cursor color or something. So overall, pasting without formatting for me looks like the best, most legible way to go I think.
