Hi, while figuring out why my wifi stopped working, i discovered that some important packages got removed. As i am not super confident linux user i would greatly appreciate your input on what might be the cause and how to avoid this in the future.
I recall removing orphans in pamac gui, removing ~/.cache
folder lately and using rmlint, but i don’t see how it could be the cause of these packages removal.
These are the lines in /var/log/pacman.log
where i believe happened the most:
