    Not even, man. I accidentally ran sudo apt remove python3 instead of sudo apt remove python3-pip last 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 :(

        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!

          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.
