--- Comment #6 from WS <ws....@outlook.com> --- >...Is that actually the case though? Other than Discover and Plasma Desktop, >what things are listed on this page that you can break your system by removing? Don't try to think about the breaking the system in a technical sense, try to think about what a one dot user considers to be a usable system. Again, I mentioned Dolphin as an example: A two dot user would probably figure out what it is and will not uninstall it without reason, and even if they did, they would probably figure out how to get it back (or an alternative). A one dot user would either see the installed list as too imposing, or wouldn't understand what Dolphin is, if they uninstalled I don't think they would be able to reinstall it without external help. My idea of having a category called "System", made from shipped by default packages, isn't to protect tech enthusiastic users from ending with a borked system, it is to prevent one dot users from making preventable mistakes, by labelling those stuff as "System" would at least warn them. >Making Discover not removable through Discover is being handled already. The >only way kernels could appear in Discover is if your distro gives them >AppStream metadata, which seems totally wrong. Are you sure you're not seeing >a GUI app to *manage* kernels? I very much doubt the kernel itself appears in >Discover. I didn't mean Discover, but the GUI app made by the distro. Also pretty sure it is the Kernel itself, that one can be blamed on the distro, still weird tho. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
