How do I safely remove all btrfs and grub related stuff

[mightbeaether]

Basically the title. I have an old (and bad) ssd and I generally prefer ext4 anyways. I don't really hate it but it would be convenient not seeing "filesystem isn't btrfs ..." every time I install something. I already tried it myself but I didn't find a way to uninstall ti so I removed some /usr/bin files, which did nothing so I used timeshift to revert back to a previous snapshot and broke my system in some step 😅.

Or should I just install debian? The only thing modifications I really care about are the pipewire ones and the more slim packages. Also deban netinst didn't work on uefi fsr...

Hi there, sorry I don't quite understand, how did you revert to a previous snapshot if you're not running on Btrfs?
At any rate, you can remove all packages containing the term snapper, and also run sudo systemctl disable grub-btrfs .

I used timeshift with rsync to make snapshots so I didn't need btrfs.
Also, thanks for replying so quickly!
I'm assuming that removing all packages containign the term snapper means that I should do "sudo apt remove snapper" and then "sudo autoremove" ?
Sorry if this is a basic question but I have never really used a debian based distro for a long time.

Hi there, I just use Synaptic to search for snapper and remove the installed packages.

Oh k, I'll try that. tysm!

umm, sudo systemctl disable grub-btrfs returns "Failed to disable unit: Unit file grub-btrfs.service does not exist."

OK then that should be all you need to do.
