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!

      It’s not. I’m constantly learning and making a mess. A fresh install every year or two keeps the house clean, and keeps me in good practice.

        You learn significantly more from actually fixing the problems with your install as opposed to just constantly starting over every time. Doing it just to get rid of a couple of GNOME packages is especially not worth the trouble, considering it’s a rather trivial task.

          It may sound masochistic, but I take the opportunity to write scripts that prepare the environment exactly how I like it.
