I installed some random package thinking it was tor.. anyone have any idea what i installed? (Thank you for...
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
So i'm very new to using linux. The main reason i'm using it is because i have a chromebook and its extreot hemely easy to install and I didn't have to get rid of chrome OS to do it.
I think i'm using crouton which is basically Unix i think? I was kind of being lazy and didn't feel like reading the instructions to install the Tor browser through the terminal so i just tried 'sudo apt-get install tor' which actually worked and installed some stuff, it, however, didn't install the tor browser as i had hoped. I've managed to get it since but i'm kind of paranoid about whatever it is i installed.
Should i worry about this and try to remove it?
EDIT: as a side question, i think it's really cool how the apt-get install function works. I typed firefox at the end and it got me firefox, i type transmission and i receive a cool torrent program. How exactly does it work that i can type that command and a program i want and it just gets it for me?

Possible off-topic question. We support Ubuntu (and official flavors) here, not generic linux or unix (SE's Unix & Linux site would be more appropriate for that). You haven't even mentioned Ubuntu in your question, or if any of this relates to Ubuntu (and not just generic debian packaging).

Wow thanks for not answering my question and rating the question down dude, that's very helpful of you. Sorry I typed in linux help forum into bing and it showed this in the results. I'm so sorry i don't understand Linux enough to understand this question is off topic. Maybe instead of thumbs downing me and chastising me you tell me where to go to actually get help since I indeed thought this was a legitimate place to ask my question?

I hadn't down-voted your question, nor had I even voted to close the question (as off-topic) - I only commented my concerns waiting to see if you'd clarify your question. This is not a Linux help forum, it's a Ubuntu user support forum. I provided clues with the SE's Unix & Linux; a sister site to this one, but with your attitude I'm not doing a search for you

askubuntu.com/help/on-topic will provide some clues as to what's on topic, and what's not, but I still don't see anything related to Ubuntu in anything you've put. I was pointing you to unix.stackexchange.com I got from a startpage.com search (using clues I provided in first comment). If you follow site rules you'll find better responses, also remember honey gets more help than vinegar.

Hi, a downvote could be for any of the following reasons: 1 This question does not show any research effort, 2 it is unclear, or 3 it is not useful. If you have time, please look at askubuntu.com/help. To assume that anyone hates you is a bit of a stretch as I'm sure you'll agree after some reflection.
