Hi,
I just installed ubuntu 20.04 a couple of days ago and had a problem.
When doing 'sudo apt autoremove' I ended up with a system that did not have any good graphics drivers and I did not know what more was wrong so I reinstalled and installed timeshift.
Now I tried 'sudo apt autoremove' again and ended up in the same way. I did a timeshift back. But I really would like to be able to do 'apt autoremove' without being worried that it will take packages that is used by the system.
What can be wrong?
My second question:
I did:
apt-get --dry-run autoremove | grep -P '^Remv \K[^ ]+'
and it shows apt will remove the following:
