I wonder, if you did a fresh install and named exactly the packages you

Myself, I just learned to ignore those items that I don't use. It's there, but
it doesn't get in my way. I do seem to remember a time, though, when I could
get rid of laptop packages, games, and all the other stuff I don't use, but
now they can't be uninstalled.
So I am just guessing that something has changed over the years, so that these
packages are all tied to some metapackage.

Somewhat on a whim, I’m trying to figure out what
laptop packages I can
remove from my desktop. Having already removed touchpad-indicator, I
came across klaptopdaemon-trinity as a good candidate.
# aptitude search '~d laptop'
i A klaptopdaemon-trinity - battery monitoring and management for
laptops using TDE
So, did a dry run, and it wants to remove all of TDE from the computer.
(output below)
So, uhm, what am I missing here? TDE isn’t really dependent on a laptop
daemon, right? My desktop does not need that package, right? What’s the
proper command to remove it?
Thanks, Best,
Michael
Now I'm replying to myself... It seems any TDE app does this, just did a
dry run on kbounce-trinity, it did the same thing.
