Incorrect uninstall instructions for arch #73

Open jacob153 opened 2 years ago

jacob153 commented 2 years ago

The uninstall instructions says the flag would be "-S" but that is for installing. To uninstall it would be "-R"(for Remove)

No, you wouldn't be able to remove it with pacman -R as mutter is required by gnome-shell. By running pacman -S mutter, pacman will remove mutter-rounded and replace it with the default mutter WM.

That makes sense now, because of the safety thing. I do remember running into that when installing it now. If that dagum safety net wasn't there it would work but ig at least they're trying to keep basic users from screwing something up. It would be more clear to mention that it's not being "uninstalled" but rather replaced with a different dependency as first glance that is very confusing

Yeh, to be honest I thought the same until I tried to remove it with -R and it gave me a "could not satisfy dependencies" error.
