This thread is hilarious. Do what you want, but to rm -rf (assume /) to get rid of unwanted packages is the most Windows thing.

No matter your package manager, I am sure there is a way to get a list of explicitly installed packages and then going through it and uninstalling with the package manager automatically removing it’s dependencies seems like a way faster method.

That is pretty damn cool. Thanks for sharing!

Cool, but ehm… why does the meme look like a bad Magic Eye 3D image ?

While this is a great first step, I would like to remind you, that this is only one ministry containing maybe a couple of thousands employees.

As a comparison Copenhagen Municipality has around 45.000 employees - not all of them requiring computers of course.

But it illustrates that if real change is the ambition, nothing is going to happen before the municipalities gets involved.

And employees of a digitalisation ministry of course if gonna get excited, but imagine 60 year old Hanne Andersens uproar, when she hears that she has to learn a new OS or software suite to process drivers license applications or document travel expenses for s a disabled child.

So while it is great it starts to get some publicity, that we are highly dependent on a few very greedy and morally ambiguous corporations, it is just a very small first step, with a very long and hurdled road in front of us, that will get very little publicity.
