Deborphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system. It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation and shows you a list of these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries, but it can be used on packages in all sections.

In light of `sudo apt autoremove` and such, there seems to be no need for this; it removed Cinnamon-critical components that required me to look stuff up online to figure out how to get my own GUI to reappear after simply logging in!

Good one, be careful what you remove. Might break something!
