Trying to install steam from the command-line caused the problem (see here).
Both the software center and apt-get was telling him to remove essential packages. apt-get was basically telling him that it was going to uninstall the entire desktop environment (and even xorg).
At least the graphical installer had the decency to cancel the process.

My bad, must've missed it, but as it turns out, they patched it, so
apt-getworks either way. Thanks for the feedback! 😁
