    Ahaha. That hurts.

    Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.

      Ah yes, I’ve made that mistake, too.
      Also, going through Synaptic and deleting everything you don’t know.

        Synaptic is a new Linux user’s worst enemy. Makes it too easy to just break stuff.

      New linux user goes online to find out how to list installed packages in the terminal. Starts removing the ones they don’t recognise.

        Yeah that was me a bunch of years ago, thinking I’d cut the unnecessary dependencies from my system.
        I learned they were not so unnecessary.
