Scary autoremove

In reference to the Network Chuck docker video, a few posts back… he mentioned docker-desktop. So I looked at it and one prerequisite was gnome-terminal. So I entered the command to install it, and it reported…

gnome-terminal is already the newest version (3.44.0+mint1+vanessa).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Then it listed quite a few packages (including kernel modules and said I could…Use ‘sudo apt autoremove‘ to remove them. Which I did. But it seemed to get stuck in a loop and just repeated the same commnds (probably because I previously manually removed a lot of old kernel modules).

At the end of these repeated commands it said…

Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Its output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot

Removing linux-image-5.15.0-102-generic (5.15.0-102.112) ...

I don’t even know if a valid Manjaro Linux partition is out there anymore. However in one of the very rare times Linux Mint screwed up my system was when a update messed with my boot process… and the and create new boot entries comment above scared me. I had to CTRL-C because of this repeating loop. Then I crossed my fingers and rebooted. It successfully rebooted. Whew….

I did gain about 3GB of root space, which I was tight on. So that was nice.
