removing mx-tools

[algori]

Hello Antix, Mx-Linux useres,
I want to remove most of the windows like programs and applications.
I already purged synaptic, but I also want to remove certain games, and features like HexChat, etc. I want to clean up the system, to what I really need. I'm pretty familiar using only the terminal.

I tried to purge things by name it, but it doesn't find the package. Is there something I can do, find out, where these things sits. to delete them.

I do not even really like a desktop environment, but during the last weeks I got a couple of issues with compiling a kernel, so I had to decide to use a stable and safe Distro.

But yeah, maybe I should try Antix instead!

Thanks for help
greetings algori

I also removed games :) I wish you removed Synaptic at the end after you did all using that :)

You can find all by names in MX Tools => MX Package Installer : Stable Repo tab .. search for the "Installed" ..

After you remove them all, you can use commands apt autoremove and apt autoclean ..

or use MX Tools => MX Cleanup .. Or install Bleachbit for deeper cleaning (that one removes unnecessary languages also and opens a good amount of space).. a kind of "CCleaner" ..

And , yes, of course you can install antiX Base (or even Core if you know how to) and go on installing according to your taste.. even install xfce :)

There's quite a few ways to list installed packages on a debian system, here are two:

Code: Select all

apt list --installed

and

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep ^ii

Yep, and also Application Finder.. ( Alt + F3 ) See there the actual names, commands for the applications https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uplo ... Finder.png

And as always:

Alt + F1 for MX Users Manual.

antiX provides net, core, base and full versions. One of them might suit better your needs.
