sudo synaptic Find the program you want to delete, and right click on the green box before its name and choose "Mark for Removal", then click the "Apply" button. generally a program that is incompatible with your Linux distro will NOT cause your complete system to become unstable as the package manager ensures that other programs are not affected.
