I remember back in the day running Ubuntu and playing around with python. First I was doing some stuff in python 2 but then I realized python 3 exists and if I learn python I should learn the one that’s relevant for longer (hopefully) so, since I’d installed python 3 I figured python 2 will not be needed anymore so why not remove it. And let’s be extra clean and do a apt-get remove --purge python2.

I realized my mistake when I saw a bunch of unity-desktop packages being removed I cancelled the removal but a reboot later the machine was truly fucked … Well I decided I might as well reinstall.

Haven’t had this kind of broken in a while. I don’t think I ever bored any of my arch installs in a way I couldn’t recover from a Liveboot (yes I could have recovered the Ubuntu install but that was in the beginning of my journey and even today reinstalling would probably be quicker)
