WARNING: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!!
mysql and many other important things may be dependencies that will get removed if you run this.

Very careful before using above command.
In case you successfully uninstalled default package, use below command ;)

Destroyed my linux purging python, be careful
sudo apt-get purge ..... destroys dependencies . Be careful .
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
helps recover dependencies but not all
This is NOT the way to. do this.!
You will trash your system if you start purging like this.
Thank you for this. I had installed python3.10, it was causing problems and I couldn't uninstall it through rm. I am still fairly new to linux so thank you.
yes, I've destroyed my computer and lost everything trying that, but my question still the same, how I can upgrade or deleted and then re-install the latest python version?
I use different python versions (3.8, 3.10) on my ubuntu. I decided to uninstall pythion3.10.
Now, anytime I install a package with pip, it is downloaded in 'python3.10/site-packages/' not 'python3.8/site-packages/'
Does anyone know how I can resolve this? I cannot also install packages in a venv because it is always installing globally to 'python3.10/site-packages/'
Please help. Thank you for your response

Note to self: Do not run commands on a github Gist without reading the comments section xD
I CANT BELIEVE UBUNTU CRASHED!! SUCH A FRAGILE USELESS OS
Some commands are best tried on virtual system first. Be careful.
I ran this command and I'm using a WSL with Ubutu... Any ideas on how I can fix mine?
