Hey guys, I’m playing Pandemic Legacy and I was the first to eradicate the red virus so now I get to name it! Let me know if you have any good exocomics-related names :D
If you don’t know what Pandemic Legacy is then shhh don’t worry.
What? Where do you see it preinstalled that you can’t remove it? It’s an open source app, I don’t see why a vendor would install it and keep you from removing it.
It’s part of KDE Plasma and you cannot remove it completely. In my experience. You can kind of disable it in some ways. And block it in your firewall or whatever, but it’s part of the DE from what I understand.
Maybe it’s just the distros I’ve chosen.
Edit: well I’ve been on immutable for a handful of years now so maybe it’s on me. But I do remember it being annoying to remove on EndeavourOS as well but that was several years ago so maybe it’s better now
I suppose that’s an issue in how your distro packages it and makes it a required dependency. It’s absolutely not a required dependency of KDE Plasma and it’s optional. On Arch for instance it’s not even marked as optional and I can just do
pacman -Rns kdeconnectand remove it freely.I swear that didn’t work like ~5 years ago on EndeavourOS, but there’s a solid chance I’m just misremembering.
