Removing GNOME packages from KDE install

posted 6 months ago

I installed GNOME on my KDE fedora install some time ago not realizing it would litter my install with gnome apps. Wondering if there’s a safe and easy way to remove them. Everyone online seems to say that removing a DE risks uninstalling a lot of stuff and thought I should ask here to be sure.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks both for the information and the confidence. I went ahead and deleted the gnome packages and nothing seems broken so far. The dnf remove @gnome-destop didn’t work, but dnf remove gnome-* worked. I made sure all the packages being removed were ones I no longer wanted and all looks well!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
