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 pythonFollowed by
sudo apt-get install python3Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not foundIn 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.
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
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.
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.
Edge is so trashy. It’s constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.

For those wondering which xkcd:
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
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.
Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
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.
