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

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.

Wow - Ubuntu is so much more "batteries included" - any other distro like this?
One of my favorites was this one where they told us:
- App, sistema operativo e tanto altro per privacy in un mondo alla Gorge Orwell...
- Working on an xrandr launch arg to fix ultrawide issues with OpenGL, need some assistance with the cmd
- Screen flashing white
- The best distro for nvidia laptops

Removing Steam also removes PipeWire
Using controllers with Steam's flatpak is impossible without steam-devices. Installing steam-devices with apt also installs Steam's .deb. Uninstalling Steam's .deb completely removes PipeWire. I have found this issue on GitHub from six months ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet. I'm surprised there are still issues with Steam on Pop!_OS after what happened last time.
