Public bug reported:
After fresh install, running sudo apt-get autoremove results in 30+ packages
(over 700mb) being suggested for removal. I innocently did this and ended up
with my Plasma desktop being removed..
Luckily I had a snapshot of a VM to go back to...
However, This could be a jarring experience for less experienced users
installing Daily build of Studio 21.04
A simple fix is to run this command post-install for the Daily Build:
sudo apt-mark manual $(sudo apt-get -s autoremove 2>/dev/null | awk
'/^Remv / { print $2 }')
What this command does is marks all packages marked autoinstall to
'manual install'.
This way while you all are adding-on things at the last minute it
doesn't cause a problem if a new user innocently runs autoremove.
Then when ready for release remove the above command from post-install.
