change Nemo for Thunar
We want to use Thunar file manager. (hOW) Can we uninstall Nemo, since it will become unused?
btw Thunar File Manager should be XFCE. Our Deb11 is Cinn version. Still we could install it from syn man. We don't get it...

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
Carefully try it. Read the messages about what will be uninstalled. If it looks like something critical to your system will be removed, stop, don't proceed!
Code: Select all
sudo apt purge nemo

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
How could i possibly know?!
OK maybe there is another way? Can you make Thunar default file man?

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
You can carefully read what packages are removed and then read those packages' descriptions.
If the console is a bit complicated to use, you can install Synaptic which shows you a nice GUI for package installation.

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
How about a plain vanilla install of Debian in a VM and then experiment with that. Thats what I would do. After the install though I would backup the VM so when you foobar the original you can load up the backup and try again.
Get your linux on.

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
That sounds very involved. OP just wants to change a file manager. If Thunar doesn't work well, they can just switch back to Nemo. Thunar also has like 10 dependencies. Those are quickly removed. Installing a VM seems a bit like overkill.Northpoint wrote: ↑2022-01-15 15:21 How about a plain vanilla install of Debian in a VM and then experiment with that. Thats what I would do.

Re: change Nemo for Thunar
Only thing I would add is, when running such commands, to make a habit of simulating them first, without sudo, as your user which can be done as follows:arochester wrote: ↑2022-01-14 10:54 Carefully try it.

sudo apt purge nemo

$ apt -s purge nemo

$ apt --simulate purge nemo
$ apt --just-print purge nemo
$ apt --dry-run purge nemo
$ apt --recon purge nemo
$ apt --no-act purge nemo

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.
