How can I uninstall Joycond? there's no uninstall documentation and as a linux noob I've got no idea how I can remove them, whether it be using the terminal or not.

Hi @subtlecobra3864 there is multiple ways to uninstall programs that are installed via make install.

To quote ndemou on stackoverflow:

If sudo make uninstall is unavailable:

In a Debian based system, instead of (or after*) doing make install you can run sudo checkinstall to make a .deb file that gets automatically installed. You can then remove it using the system package manager (e.g. apt/synaptic/aptitude/dpkg). Checkinstall also supports creating other types of package, e.g. RPM.

You can also run sudo make install again, which lists all the installed files and then one-by-one remove them via: sudo rm <filename>

But making the uninstall available as a command would certainly be great.
