celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice
Those applications uninstalled just fine without any dependency issues last time I tried Mint.
If you’re unsure, make a snapshot of your current VM state (if your VM software supports it). Then just uninstall the junk you don’t need until Mint breaks. Restore snapshot, test some more, and so on. Those on real hardware should use Timeshift to create snapshots.
Tip: Run sudo apt autoremove package
in the terminal so you can see which dependencies that are removed.
You shouldn’t have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)
OpenSUSE use patterns. Groups of packages that can be selected during installation. If one of the included pattern packages is removed it will be “fixed” when updating. You can uninstall some patterns, but be careful as some may be more important than others, leaving you without a graphical interface or something like that. If you decide to do a reinstall, you can deselect a lot of patterns (search for “pattern” in the software selection section of the installer).
If you want to remove parameters from urls you can use the removeparam
filter in uBlock Origin. Documentation: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam
For example: /?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com
For the best performance it’s recommended to make sure the parameter is included in the filter as seen above with /?igshid
, and with the domain it originated from.
Filters for the examples in OPs post:
/?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com
?is_from_webapp$removeparam=is_from_webapp,domain=tiktok.com
&t=$removeparam=/^amp;/,domain=x.com
There’s also a filter that removes a lot of known params: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt
Also for anyone wondering how to set the default quality for videos.
Edit your mpv.conf
and add ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]
to play all videos in 720p for example.
Lemmy can’t display some characters correctly. replace <

Not only that. Pay to get even more ads and tracking!
Sandbox your browser in a VM or something. Don’t use the same browser/VM for banking/personal stuff and everyday browsing. Most browsers will do. (Except Chrome/Edge/Opera/Yandex). Personally I prefer Firefox. LibreWolf can also be an option, but you have to opt-in to see videos with DRM etc. Tor is also an option, but the downsides are captchas and websites that block you.
If you’re even more extreme you can also use uBlock Origin in “hard mode” and the no script toggle. That will block JavaScript and prevent websites from connecting to any 3rd parties, anything from tracking servers to CDNs. That will definitely break websites, so you’ll have to know how to unbreak them, which can be quite the learning curve for some people.
Why not Chrome/Edge/Opera/Yandex you say? Chrome is owned by an advertising company. Edge tracks you plenty. Opera and Yandex comes from authoritarian states.
