vrms: Only output the package names.
$ vrms --sparse
try on your machine

The "vrms" command stands for "Virtual Richard M. Stallman," a package that scans your currently installed software on a GNU/Linux system and lists the ones that are not free. It is primarily used to identify and remove non-free software from your system.

The "--sparse" option is an argument that you can pass to the "vrms" command. When used, it displays only the names of the non-free packages without any descriptive text. This option is helpful if you want a more concise output without additional details about each non-free package.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
