When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that's what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:
sudo apt-get remove python
Followed by
sudo apt-get install python3
Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not found
Haha I've done this.
I somehow did some bash wizardry that reinstalled all the packages that were removed with python and was good to go. Nice to see someone else did the exact same thing though
