From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I uninstalled Python.
I was playing around with Pygame of all things, and it wasn't behaving as the (apparently out of date) documentation was saying it should, so I figured I'd just uninstall and reinstall Python.
EVERYTHING borked. APT wouldn't even work.
Oh that's a good one. It feels like it should be doable and then.... BAM
Ha! Came to say this too!
I tried to uninstall Python because I was just trying to minimize junk on my computer and I usually code in Bash, Node or Java.
