Why wasting all the cycles for sourcing all this crap in the first place?
I know we have faster computers now, but still I do not want to load
something that is completely unnecessary, just so I can remove it later
with 'unalias'.
IMHO it is much cleaner to remove/rename all this, and then start with your
own scripts.
I happen to still work a lot on hardware monochrome terminals connected
via serial -- it is noticably slower if color information is included in
the output...
I always hated color on UNIX. Monochrome green/amber/white is perfectly
fine to me.

If you happen to be on Red Hat derived Linux, the easiest way to turn
off all this
crap is to rename /etc/profile to something like
/etc/profile.dist and then populate your own startup scripts.
Better is to install a .profile that begins with 'unalias -a'. That seems
to clean out all the cruft and leave you with a clean slate to build from.
I've just learned to install my own .profile and .env files, and ignore
the crap foisted on me by ... whatever ...
