It's the times when it breaks that make the difference for me. One Windows, most breakage is an annoyance. On Linux it can grind my day to a halt. Here's something I did on an Ubuntu install recently.
apt install python3
Oops. That's not what I wanted.
apt autoremove python3
OMG! What have I done! IIRC that stripped out so much stuff I didn't even have networking. Lol.
- dizhn 4y agoDoes autoremove take a package name parameter? Did you mean something else?
- donmcronald 4y agoI guess so. I just tested it and 'apt autoremove python3' seems to be the equivalent of apt remove python3 apt autoremove The above also leaves you with no GUI and broken networking.
- dizhn 4y agoGood to know. Thanks for the followup.
