"unbutt" and something below it, with the circle logo, it's unbuntu.
It's probably a broken snap package or something.
Not even, man. I accidentally ran
sudo apt remove python3instead ofsudo apt remove python3-piplast week.I just copied my files to a flash drive and reinstalled Ubuntu lol
whoops. Usually that stuff can be fixed with a reinstall. Normally uninstalls don't yeet all config for that kind of thing, unless you tell it to.
It uninstalled a bunch of dependent packages too, including my graphics driver :(
ah yes, a classic, uninstalling python and taking your GUI with it also.
sudo apt install python3 didnt do it?
It uninstalled a bunch of dependent packages too, including my graphics driver. I probably could have looked through the apt history and rolled them all back, but I don’t remember how to do that off the top of my head, and reinstalling took about 20 minutes.
Surely it asked you to confirm before it remove it and all that uses it. It was just doing as you told it to do and will have asked you to confirm. You can't blame it!
We can call it not user friendly though
How many times should it ask you if your sure? If it was serious, as in, it could actually break stuff, it gets you to type "do as I say" or something.
Fair enough, but I was speaking more to the meta of the subject (not all distros are created equally), but still, you're right.
