- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

MODERATORS
I was trying to delete a KDE program that I'll never use, but Discover seemed to want to remove the whole pile of KDE Apps. I'm sure there's a way.
It may be that it wants to uninstall some kde-plasma-desktop metapackage, not the whole bunch of all kde apps. If it is uninstalled, nothing crucially important happens. Try to remove it with apt if you're running some Debian or Ubuntu flavour.
The problem is that the all those apps installed as dependencies will get marked as unused and removed with the next --autoremove (which you should probably do regularly to clean up old kernels.
The real fix would be to mark all those apps as explicitly installed, but I don't use apt-based distros regularly so idk how.
You can then either 'install' them with apt, which does essentially only mark installed packags as manually installed or use e.g. synaptic for that.
Yeah but you'd need to do it for *everything* that's affected, which is a lot.
