Skaperen blames Ubuntu

[Skaperen]

you can install python module without pip

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5

but then doing dpkg -l shows the package in its list. i am seeing packages not in the list, right now, though some packages did show up in both and had some duplicate files.

right now i want to uninstall the packages pip list shows, but pip is unable to do so. i consider that to be a major flaw. if linux made overlaying filesystems lower overhead, i can imagine an install being to add yet another layer, with one layer per package. so then an uninstall would be to remove that layer.

a future project is to make a script that loads all the system files into ram, and pivot that to be the root directory, unmounting the original (and in the cloud, also detaching and deleting the disk device).
