Yeah I really don't trust GUI package managers yet. I feel like they shouldn't be that hard to get working properly, but I always seem to get quirky behavior when I try to use them. As for readability
aptis one of the worse tools IMO. I've been using nala lately and really like how it lays out its operations. Contrast that format to what Linus saw in his video.Maybe we could have a blacklist of packages/metapackages marked "important" that cause warnings, like xorg, pipewire, pulseaudio, kde-desktop, gnome-desktop, etc. If you're uninstalling something like that you better hit confirm twice because that's not typical behavior.
