Dangerous comment.

From a linux perspective, I wouldn't blindly suggest the average reader to purge Python 2.7 from their system, as it might drag core parts of the WM with it. Consider aliasing, or better yet, relying on modern venv tools such as Conda instead.

I finally purged python2.7 from all the systems I admin during the Ubuntu 22.04 upgrade cycle. Worked just fine. No reason to keep it around if nothing depends on it, and indeed nothing does. If something does depend on it, think long and hard whether you really need that thing.

I don’t know about desktop Linux though.
