      Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

      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.
