I had to manually find and delete the configuration files.
For all I know there could be more configuration files at other places.
I though linux was supposed to "just work".
Do other data leak everywhere without notice?
Is my terminal history stored to other places other than $HOME/.bash_history? Do I ever stand a chance of successfully shredding a file on this stupid journaled file system?
It's because you're using apt.

who told you this lol

We got another one, boys!
Why would your package manager delete files from your home dir? Are you retarded?

This.
Home and root are two different concepts.
It's great if you want to backup your shit, because simply copying your home folder will keep a copy of everything you can change or do without root access.
Settings, solitaire scores, files, the lot.
Makes Windows look like a confusing pile of shit.

F-

Custom repositories are settings for the package manager, which is a tool for system administrator, hence it is stored in /etc.

Pick one and only one.

Linux just werks :^)
Its probably a dotfile in your home directory, or in .config/. If not, try /etc/

How does having a journaled file system have anything to do with this absurd complaint? You clearly know very little about how operating systems actually work.
Also, both OS X and Windows use journaled file systems.
Finally, no deleting your configuration files is very much intentional. The vast majority of users consider this a feature, not a bug.
but purge ... remove...why 2 meaning the same
The whole fun of linux is configuring everything yourself so you get a real knowledge of the system
>remove
remove is identical to install except that packages are removed instead of installed. Note that removing a package leaves its configuration files on the system. If a plus sign is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be installed instead of removed.
>purge
purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too).
