Lol this reminds me of a time when I had KDE desktop environment installed on vanilla ubuntu. I thought I didn’t really need ubuntu’s default desktop environment and decided to ‘purge’ it. I quickly realized my f up when it deleted so many packages and ui started to act weird, I copied the shell’s output to a file just incase, and sure enough I couldn’t login with ui on next reboot. I was somehow able to login to shell and with some awk magic I was able to parse the text file to get all the packages I deleted and lo and behold everything worked just fine. Linux let’s you f’up your OS but it also let’s you fix it, it’s just a skill issue.

Yeah, there’s something about Linux that makes me feel like if something breaks in it, the only reason I can’t fix it personally is because I lack the skills to fix the problem. Just feels nice, really.
If your installing, or deleting something and your package manager is modifying more then a few packages: stop, read and think about what your about to do.
