Why the fuck is the default installation of Python on Ubuntu 18.04 incomplete and missing *default* modules? And WHYYY are there no fucking instructions anywhere on how to fix this??

I was hoping to be able to sit with my laptop and do stuff instead of in the dark corner by my desktop computer. It seems like I can never get things to work on my laptop, and I feel like I've either got the crappiest installation of the OS or that I'm just so stupid that no one else ever had my issues. Or, if I do find people who had the same issues, not a single one of the solutions that worked for literally everyone else ever works for me. 😐

    @Torbuntu The reason I have Ubuntu to start with is that I'm still fairly new to Linux and it's decently user-friendly. I'm totally up for considering other ones though, since Ubuntu likes desktop environments that my laptop hates.

    When running the native desktop env it gets really warm within 5 mins and won't cool down until I shut it back down. (It's a weak thing, any handling of 3D rendering makes it cry.) I tried out a Xubuntu desktop env, Cinnamon (?), which works pretty well. I'm so sorry, I seriously barely even know what I'm talking about. 😂

    @Torbuntu I think I tried xfce first but never got it to work properly. I was probably doing something wrong though.

    If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference between rpm and deb packages? 😯

    @Torbuntu Running from source is something that still completely boggles me. 😂 It's all witchcraft, I swear.

    @Torbuntu I really need to find a good place to learn more shit about Linux systems, but they're so hard to track down... 😕

    Someone needs to list the missing modules > modules.txt
    Create a gist
    Share it
    'pip install -r modules.txt'

    @1nfinite If it wouldn't take so long to have to manually go through it and figure it out (I'm not skilled enough yet to know how else to do it) I might've looked into it. 😕 I'm too impatient and it wasn't critical for me to use it there and then.

    @woops The one that I noticed was tkinter, but there was another one too that I can't recall atm.
