neovim
Hey, everyone! I'm new here, and I was just wondering how one would go about removing Neovim. I tried system remove, the Gnome Software Center, and flatpak from the command line, and everything is saying that it'snot installed, but there it is.
I'm not going to use it, and even if I did, I wouldn't use a app-grid shortcut to activate it, I'd use the terminal. I don't like having stuff I don't use on my system if I can avoid it, so is there anything I can do?

how did you install it?
O didn't. It was part of the new install.
I have similar issue but with firefox I tried to remove it using system remove but it says it's not installed but firefox is installed.
Yup. That's my exact issue but with Neovim.
Have you had any issue layering new packages?. I have tried to layer new packages using system install but it says there is a conflict.
Nah, that's worked fine. I can add stuff, just not remove it.
Yes that's part of the immutability
I don't think so. I mean, I'm about as far from being an expert as you can get, but according to the docs, the
system install command is specifically for adding new package layers to the system, kind of like rpm-ostree install on Silverblue.try
sudo akshara drop-overlayThat's not true. in immutable system people can layer packages too.
I'll be away from my laptop for most of today. I'll let you know how it goes when I get a chance.
Bro trust me. Its part of the immutability
You are trying to overwrite files that are already there preventing you from installing.
On a read only system you CANNOT overwrite files.
That's why I am making a way to hide packages.
I push it to the GitHub just waiting for Rudra to get back from exams
you cannot remove packages which are preinstalled
:(
this is due to the iso update system, when the system updates the package would just come back
and it is not like nvim is a huge application so i dont think it is a huge problem
just install it then remove it 😄
Would it be possible to somehow include an option to exclude / include specific packages to be installed /removed on update? Just like selecting what shloud be included?
Prob could be developed
