I've got a few apps cluttering up my system, especially some that came bundled with other desktop environments like Plasma. I really just want to clean things up. When I use the terminal to list the packages, it shows a lot of system packages as well, which makes it confusing. I'm using Ubuntu with GNOME, so if anyone has a straightforward method for uninstalling apps, I'd really appreciate the tips! Thanks! (By the way, I initially thought about consulting AI for this, but I guess I shouldn't have, right? Just kidding!)

You can easily uninstall apps through the Ubuntu Software Center or the GNOME Software app. Just find the app you want to remove, click on it, and you should see an option to uninstall.
Just a heads-up, when managing apps through a package manager, remember that both user apps and system packages are generally treated the same way. You can safely use `sudo apt remove [program]`. It'll get rid of the app along with any dependencies that aren’t used by other programs. Just double-check before you remove anything important!
To clarify about those 'system packages' you mentioned—there really isn’t a distinct category. Everything on a Linux system comes as a package, so there's no special class for system packages versus user-installed ones.
You might want to try using `apt-get remove` as well. It’s a straightforward command for uninstalling packages.
