rpm-ostree override remove sunshine but application is still launchable

Fresh install of Bazzite-dx 42. Attempting to remove Sunshine so I can try out Apollo. I used rpm-ostree override remove sunshine then rebooted. In the applications menu I still see sunshine and can open it. rpm-ostree status -v shows it is in the RemovedBasePackages. Am I missing something?

why does it require removing sunshine? just disable it

DreOP•2w ago

Was going through a tutorial and one point it calls out is removing it completely. Could you detail disabling it in this case?

ujust setup-sunshine

Thank you For clarity though, should rpm-ostree override remove <application> actually make it look like it is removed from the system? Also ujust setup-sunshine shows the service as disabled even though it is currently running in my system tray.

asen23•2w ago

if you actually need the file removed yes but let it be otherwise you can either reboot or stop it manually

DreOP•2w ago

Just saying the user experience is confusing. I already rebooted after the rpm-ostree override remove command and was still able to open Sunshine. Odd it would say the service is disabled when it clearly isn't.

disabled doesnt mean sunshine cannot be opened it just doesnt start on boot

Ah thanks for the clarification.
