Hi,
I was playing around with mkosi's qemu support, more specifically adding the -nographic option to have the virtual machine output in my terminal instead of a separate window. After figuring out that I had to add console=ttyS0 to mkosi's kernel command line, I got the output from the vm in my terminal as expected. However, because systemd defaults to TERM=vt220 for serial consoles, the output is not colorized. I searched around a bit and found that this is done for compatibility reasons. Will there ever be a point where we can switch the default to something that supports colors (like TERM=linux)?
I managed to get around the problem by overriding serial-getty@ttyS0 and setting Environment=TERM=linux explicitly but it's a bit of a pain and has to be added to every rootfs that wants to support colored output on its serial console.
Cheers,
Daan
