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?
Why does removing python remove half the OS though? Does it remove all the things that depend on it?
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.
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.
For those wondering which xkcd:
Lemmy is great
And so are you
Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
Why edge over Firefox?
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.
The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for "enhancement"?
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.
No, its not your main browser. [tries to gaslight]
You fr?
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.
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
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
Well last week I nuked my X11 KDE installation by removing random python packages.
Oh same lol fuck Linux
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.
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?
