Can I Remove These Two Programs?
Greetings:
I love Manjaro but not their heavy handed forum. Since I have no HP peripherals, would it be ok to uninstall both the HP Device Manger and HP-UISCAN? [Manjaro 20 - Cinnamon] Thank you kindly. |
It should be fine, but when you run the
Code:
sudo apt remove |

in the "menu" the listing of programs is 168 and it takes time to scroll down to find a piece of software. And hopefully, these unused programs do not lead to some sort of operational conflict. Some of these were installed by me but I would never use "hot corners" for example. I do need to be careful not to remove programs, which are important to the operating system. Your suggestion to review their significance to the OS is excellent advice, which I will follow. |
Does Manjaro use apt? I did not know that.
Bet that's part of hplip https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hplip/ Code:
pacman -Si hplip |
Yes, you can remove that (yay -R ...) and if you do not have a printer you can remove much more, the whole printer daemon (yay -R cups).
Be sure not to remove too much. But also make sure no orphans are left behind. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman |

Teckk, I have saved your last link. Very helful information. I did check HP list of divers and it is only for their devices. So I must assume others printers would not work with their divers. |

works as it should. The software was uninstalled via "add/remove software" option. Question to you, how does one check for orphans? |
For some reason I thought Manjaro used apt. My apologies. I've never tried Manjaro, just heard of it, and apparently didn't hear enough.

And in the future, the arch wiki is always the first go-to for problems on all arch-based distro. Well, strictly speaking, the Manjaro wiki is the first go-to, then the arch wiki. |

Sgosnell, I tried enter the 'apt" command several times and it did not work. Manjaro, being an Arch based OS uses different command structure. Hear is a sample command for installing software. "# pacman -S package_name1 package_name2" |

^ Well, the Manjaro wiki is actually here: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php

In other words, you never just install one package, you always bring the whole system up to date before installing one package: Code:
# pacman -Syu package_name1 package_name2 Hence me suggesting yay instead. |

You are right about downloading programs mainly from their AUR. I added all additional programs from that depository [AUR]. |
