When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:
sudo apt-get remove python
Followed by
sudo apt-get install python3
Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not found

I remember I did the same mistakes few years ago. If I’m not mistaken, there is a big warning message when you try to remove Python, no?
- SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
Why does removing python remove half the OS though? Does it remove all the things that depend on it?
- copylefty ( @copylefty@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
Haha I’ve done this.
I somehow did some bash wizardry that reinstalled all the packages that were removed with python and was good to go. Nice to see someone else did the exact same thing though

And that, kids, is how Linus fucked his Pop!_OS installation.
- DrownedAxolotl ( @DrownedAxolotl@lemmy.ml ) English9•1 year ago
To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?

Edge is so trashy. It’s constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.
- Sens ( @Senseibu@feddit.uk ) English4•1 year ago
Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
- ℛ𝒶𝓋ℯ𝓃 ( @name_NULL111653@pawb.social ) English5•1 year ago
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
- mustyOrange ( @mustyOrange@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
Why edge over Firefox?
- ReakDuck ( @ReakDuck@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
No, its not your main browser. [tries to gaslight]

The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for “enhancement”?
- Sens ( @Senseibu@feddit.uk ) English1•1 year ago
I turned this off but primarily use Edge for sfw browsing, and I don’t use any Microsoft OS to view NSFW content, only Linux.

Even if it was perfect and everyone should use it. The issue is that you can not remove (uninstall) it, which you should be able to do, especially for a browser.

- tboyer96 ( @tboyer96@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
In terms of usability? Yeah, edge is good, especially if you are a fan of vertical tabs. After all, it’s just yet another chromium-based browser. In terms of privacy? Oh god no, given Microsoft’s track record it’s probably the worst browser out there in that regard.
- N00b22 ( @N00b22@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year ago
You can actually uninstall Edge, Microsoft just says it will break your system. Not a big deal, you can always reinstall Edge later via winget

Last time I tried (haven’t used Windows in over a year) it just reinstalled itself unless you went to a fair amount of effort to stop it
- Wren 🪐 ( @wren@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
Yep, this is still the case. Every time there’s an update it will reinstall and preventing that is so tedious. Just got a new gaming system setup (Aya Neo, which is Windows based) and I really don’t feel like going through the whole process to remove it / prevent it from coming back
- asexualchangeling ( @asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml ) English0•1 year ago
Not suggesting you do it necessarily, but I wonder how well linux runs on something like that, gaming on a windows handheld just seems so inconvenient, especially sense I haven’t had a use for windows in a long while
- Wren 🪐 ( @wren@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year ago
I’m super curious too! I’d be very worried about the drivers for the controllers though. They’re dodgy enough as is haha
It is a little annoying but the portability really makes up for it for me

Steps to remove GRUB on Debian: “doas apt purge grub-efi* -y” “doas rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/debian”

Thanks running it rn. GRUB was hogging precious disk

Well last week I nuked my X11 KDE installation by removing random python packages.
- SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Oh same lol fuck Linux
- MaliciousKebab ( @MaliciousKebab@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
I mean I knew it was going to break at some point and I didn’t really care since I was using wayland. I was just trying to delete old packages.
- ReakDuck ( @ReakDuck@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
