How to remove pop-desktop completely
And if that's not enough, you yourself seem to have been responsible that exactly this change was added to apt. If I may refresh your memory: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1 It even links to upstream Debian work mentioning exactly this method: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/196

win x lin
And no matter how hard it is, if it's possible to break it, someone will find their way to completely breaking the system. Look at what Linus had to do to break his Pop!_OS install - go to the terminal (which already renders it far out of reach for the average user), run sudo apt install steam, and ignore a giant error. And that wouldn't work anymore anyway, because Pop now uses a version of APT that completely forbids breaking the system unless specifically configured to allow it - so there is now an extra step in there, telling APT not to preserve pop-desktop.

Confessions of a self admitted gatekeeper
This isn't locking it down. This is about providing sensible defaults like I mentioned before. For power users, the control is still there. It's easy enough to create the `/etc/apt/break-my-system` file so that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you wanted to. This is not similar to what ChromeOS or Android is doing at all.

I think what Linus and Luke at LTT are doing is incredibly important.
ah, I thought you mean https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

System76 Contributions and Collaborations
- Improve the GUI package manager error message: https://github.com/pop-os/shop/pull/302 - Make the apt message more explicit and make the bypass much harder: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

Now that we have a baby-sitter with apt, how do we remove it?
https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1/files Here is the code change. Note line 311.

The Linux community is growing – and not just in numbers
They have already committed a fix that improves things dramatically.
- Whose fault do you think that Linus ended up with a nuked DE and why?
-
What happened with LTT is our fault
And they already issued a "fix" to prevent people to easily "break" it.

System76: A Case Study on How Not To Collaborate With Upstream
And their fix for the issue Linus had is downstream only. Not a word said about working with Debian on this.

What Desktop Environment do you use?
I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

Touchscreen gestures broken in PopOS with Wayland?
I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

If the Pop Launcher could do anything, what would you want it to do?
Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing apt and cosmic you can also consider the following projects:
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
gnome-hud - Unity like HUD menu for the GNOME Desktop Environment using rofi menu.
shop - Pop!_Shop
gnome-shell-extended-gestures - Better touchpad gesture handling for GNOME
fwupd - A system daemon to allow session software to update firmware
touche - The desktop application to configure Touchégg
flatpak-external-data-checker - A tool for checking if the external data used in Flatpak manifests is still up to date
shell - Pop!_OS Shell
goxlr-on-linux - Documentation and scripts to make the GoXLR and GoXLR Mini useful on Linux.
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock - Pop!_OS fork of https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/tree/ubuntu-dock
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
dash-to-dock - A dock for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash out of the overview transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops.
