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
In my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.
Pyenv is always reliable
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?
For those wondering which xkcd:
Lemmy is great
And so are you
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
Snap, and just uninstalling a snap provided program is even easier. Or just getting the system to use your own non snap program as default.
Tough one
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.
I got sick of Edge constantly pushing penis pills and whatever pseudo-medicine bullshit on me. So I changed the settings to get rid of all that garbage. I did the same on my work computer, except it's a dark grey screen with just a search bar. I only use Edge once in a blue moon on my own computer, but I use it a lot on my work computer because we use Azure for logins. It just simplifies the process a little. We also have a few antiquated systems that only work through Edge with IE mode.

I'm also not a big fan of Pocket on Firefox so I've got all that turned off, too. I haven't exactly hardened it, but I've taken steps to just make it look clean. If there's anything Chrome does absolutely right, it's a simple, lightweight, uncluttered welcome/home screen that you don't have to do anything to get there. Still ain't picking it over Firefox, though.
I used to use Momentum back when I used Chrome so I'm sure that can also fix Edge's trashiness with a simple add-on.
Ever notice how you can't change the new tab/home page in Edge? It's locked down to some page on a Microsoft server (often slow to load too).
"Yes, I know what I am doing"
*system fails to boot
*surprised Linus face
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.
Tbh that's Windows' fault in crying wolf so many times for nothing
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
Look at this guy with his fancy efi bootloader..
This is how I feel about Java vs Go/C#/etc
Which is java and which is C# lmao
Java is the top, C# is the bottom. The Java language designers consider unsigned integers harmful (and this). They're basically saying "You could hurt yourself with this so we're taking it away." I find that patronizing and disrespectful. On the other hand C# and Go tell you, "Yo bro, doing pointer math and direct memory manipulation is not safe, but I'm not gonna stop you."
I love that about C#. It's safe and managed, but if you need the unsafe features for performance etc, then they're available. It's the best if both worlds, imo.
It sounds like you're thinking of C++ rather than C#, no?
Well you can still uninstall edge on windows, even if it break your system, you can do it. There are tons of guides you can find on internet. It's basically running the installer with an uninstall flag.
Does it actually break the system tho?
Some functionalites are broken, for example some settings in the settings panel wont display, because it's a react ui (mostly everything related to onedrive/online account), lots of software expect it to be present and use it (like visual studio). Git (to connect with oauth).
But a lot of things still works.
Can I have you number?
"Ew, no"
Sudo can I have your number?
"Sure, here you go!"
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.
