Same as the guy below, on Kubuntu 23.10 the "most" pager doesn't render colors. Connecting to another machine through ssh and launching a man page from there, with the "most" pager set up actually renders the colors properly. Same on my android terminal with termux. I cannot locate the source of the issue as there's nothing wrong with my .mostrc, my .bashrc, or the /etc/manpath.config. Does anybody know what's going on?

For some reason this stopped working on my Ubuntu/Kubuntu 23.10.

Okay, adding these kind of changes in /etc/profile.d applies for all users on the system – a global configuration(unless you intend the tip to be used in that way), and ~/.bashrc file works only for a specific user(which we intended while preparing this article). Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Really interesting and useful tip. Although I prefer to add these kind of changes in /etc/profile.d instead of editing /.bashrc file.
