How can I cleanup manually added debian repositories and keyrings for softwares like brave, vscodium, zettlr, etc.

I know about /etc/apt/sources.list. but this is for official repositories right? What about manually added repos?

Definitely give it a go if you're an artist

We've removed systemd from our system. Or so we thought.

libsystemd0 is still installed, though.

Turns out apt depends on it?? coreutils depends on it??? None of those should have anything to do with systemd????

So what's up with that? Is there a way to actually remove libsystemd0 without breaking everything in half?

This bug report seems to indicate that libelogind0 at least used to Provides: libsystemd0, but it doesn't seem to anymore on our systems.

I was wondering since I moved from Linux Mint to Debian, everyone said it's more for advanced users, it's barebones, it needs lots of adjusting....etc.

But I'm the contrary, my codecs where there and worked. It was more stable and intuitive. I only had to plugin my store to the flat hub. Nothing much I did of tinkering than I did in Mint.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I searched using different terms but couldn't find a similar question. I'm a noob. When using apt install sometimes it recommends a bunch of other packages. I read that GUI tools generally install them. I don't use GUI, I use the terminal. I know of the --no-install-recommends flag, but I am wondering whether and when to use it. Should I just let it do the default thing?

For example, this is the list of packages when I try to install Calibre:

Some of them seem useful based on names, but for example blt-demo?

* [ALERT] Lxqt gui conflicts with Security-Misc!
(disable if upgrading and keep disabled if updating Trixie)
* Have you allocated enough disk space?
Size of Trixie upgrade appears to overwhelm resources.
recommend targeted updates:
apt install –only-upgrade <package>
* comment out non-free in Kicksecure repo
* consider disabling repo until “dummy” dependencies and other issues are cleared up

With no end in sight for the global memory crisis, has anyone considered optimizing the kernel for rotational HDDs since SSDs are absurdly overpriced?

For instance
* overcommit memory doesn't make compiling #rustlang any faster. Ideas?
@rustaceans

We wrongly assumed the technology would make like Moore's Law. Instead, economic realities made the substrate of computation scarce for the long term. If so, the software of the People's future ought to be tunable to the contingencies of scarcity.

We're on Debian testing(+unstable) and running into update issues. apt upgrade doesn't touch anything, and apt full-upgrade wants to upgrade 2 libreoffice packages, not touch the 341 other upgrades, and remove the main libreoffice package.

How cursed of an idea is it to just sudo apt install $(apt-mark showmanual)? That looks like it would upgrade everything, while just removing a couple hopefully-inconsequential system libraries.
