Yeah. I wanted to build a custom theme from source, and installed all the dependencies. Tried the theme, realized it had the usual issues just like every other theme, uninstalled it. Then I uninstalled everything I needed to build it, as the terminal history was still there and I could tell exactly what was installed. Guess what? apt would've nuked my desktop environment if I didn't stop it, almost as if what I had installed was a required dependency. Pretty sure it was optional though, since everything was more or less working before installing

--Edit
Forgot to mention the custom theme was for qt5ct, not for the desktop environment
