Is it safe to remove the following packages from KDE dragonized?

Hello people!
I am still adapting to the new UI and also adapting it to my tastes, but having some doubts.
I understand that you can safely remove applications that are redundant, but i want to ask YOU guys.
Would it be safe to remove dolphin?, i am using nautilus and, for me, it works better.
I have the same questions for firedragon, as i use and prefer Firefox.
inxi details included! :smiley:

Of course, you can, if you have appropriate replacements and take care of the dependencies.
E.g. firedragon is for sure required by some common settings. So most likely it will be necessary to remove it with:

sudo pacman -Rdd firedragon

I don’t know if Dolphin is required by any packages in your system (most likely not by anything Garuda-specific).
If you feel confident, you could remove it it the same way, although I don’t think it is really necessary. Maybe keep it there but don’t use it as default File Manager.
