GtkOrphan is the graphical tool that allows you to find and remove orphaned packages. I’m trying to find users who may have some opinions. I’m thinking about trying it but I am just wondering if there are any tricks or hidden dangers to be careful of. I do use uCaresystem Core and find it to be incredibly helpful and this may be a additional adjunct or addition to uCaresystem Core. I also watched a YouTube video briefly explaining how to use ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OApA5DcVri8
howtoforge.com says this: " While uCaresystem includes the “deborphan” command, you may also use GtkOrphan to gain more control over what gets to stay in the system and what's thrown out of the window. It is simple to use and straight forward as it scans for orphaned packages upon launch. The options can be found on the bottom, while an insightful tab containing the non-orphaned packages and their dependencies shown in a convenient tree view mode is also available. Install it with: sudo apt-get install gtkorphan”
Thoughts or opinions always appreciated.
