If I remove Edge, Will there be any consequences? --- Flashback: I removed edge and onedrive using **Chris Titus Tech's Winutils**. In the tool itself they mentioned that removing edge is not recommended. But I did it anyway. Now for some reason, my library folders (music, videos, etc) reset to their original location. ( I changed it to a custom location). All I have to do is change it back to custom location. ( No data loss happened). But what I want to know is that, **Are there anymore consequences that I am not aware of?**

## What are the packages that comes default with Linux Mint Cinnamon that I can remove without any problems. Linux Mint comes with lots of packages installed by default to give full experience to new users. But not everyone needs everything. In my case for example, I don't need celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice, etc,... Those applications has their own audience and Linux Mint including them is a good thing but I personally don't want them. ### Mini Rant or QA maybe? I searched the internet a bit for the answer, on various forums, and subreddits. And **All the people who asked this question got obliterated** as far as I've seen. The common answers are: >if you remove the applications that came installed with Mint by default, it will cause Dependency issues. If I remove an application and the dependencies shold be removed **UNLESS** some other application need those dependency, right? If that's the case, why removing packages can cause dependency issues? >Why would you want to remove essential applications like LibreOffice, pix etc. ? (this question is asked in the sense of "what sane person would want to remove those?") Cause why not? Maybe I like GwenView more than Pix, maybe I don't need office applications at all. Why this even matter? >If you want don't want Mint's default applications, then what's the point of using Mint? Just use something like Ubuntu server or something. People need to realize that lot of people (at least me) using Mint for it's System management (updates, apt source list, etc..) via GUI ability. Just because I want to manage my system with ease, that doesn't mean I need everyt applications it offers me. I honestly feel bad for the person who asked the question in the first place. They didn't got the answers till the very end. All they got is Criticism and it's not constructive one. Why this kind of behaviour even exist? P.S.: I'm using Mint inside VM for testing purposes. I don't want my VM to take a lot of space. That's why I don't need lot of applications.

Why this even matter? >If you want don't want Mint's default applications, then what's the point of using Mint? Just use something like Ubuntu server or something. People need to realize that lot of people (at least me) using Mint for it's System management (updates, apt source list, etc..) via GUI ability. Just because I want to manage my system with ease, that doesn't mean I need everyt applications it offers me. I honestly feel bad for the person who asked the question in the first place. They didn't got the answers till the very end. All they got is Criticism and it's not constructive one. Why this kind of behaviour even exist? P.S.: I'm using Mint inside VM for testing purposes. I don't want my VM to take a lot of space. That's why I don't need lot of applications.

## What are the packages that comes default with Linux Mint Cinnamon that I can remove without any problems. Linux Mint comes with lots of packages installed by default to give full experience to new users. But not everyone needs everything. In my case for example, I don't need celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice, etc,... Those applications has their own audience and Linux Mint including them is a good thing but I personally don't want them. ### Mini Rant or QA maybe? I searched the internet a bit for the answer, on various forums, and subreddits. And **All the people who asked this question got obliterated** as far as I've seen. The common answers are: >if you remove the applications that came installed with Mint by default, it will cause Dependency issues. If I remove an application and the dependencies shold be removed **UNLESS** some other application need those dependency, right? If that's the case, why removing packages can cause dependency issues? >Why would you want to remove essential applications like LibreOffice, pix etc. ? (this question is asked in the sense of "what sane person would want to remove those?") Cause why not? Maybe I like GwenView more than Pix, maybe I don't need office applications at all.

Where should I mount my internal drive partitions? As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that /Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD ) /Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that's the case what's the point of ```/mnt```? Just to be organised I suppose. ### TLDR If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable **where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted.** i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup? Asking with the sole reason to know that, what's the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me. I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift? Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ? I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage. ``` 100GB - Windows 11 400GB - Storage 400GB - Mint 100GB - TimeShift ```

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?  Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? **Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?** There is also three linux4noob communities 🥲
