I am trying to remove qemu. There are many qemu related applications, many depend on each other and refuse to go away. How can I remove all unique qemu applications without breaking the system?
They were most likely all installed as dependencies. Do you still have something that requires them?
pacman -Qi qemu-desktop | grep 'Required By'
No, that is gone / was not found.
What qemu
packages do you still have installed?
pacman -Qs qemu
Either way, they’re probably orphans.
Yes, they seem to be:
pamac remove -o
