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!

    Try to find the Fedora/yum equivalent to

    apt-get purge gnome-desktop

    apt-get autoremove

      dnf remove @gnome-desktop dnf autoremove

      For the curious.

      Note that the autoremove might not do anything here. Removing @gnome-desktop removes the whole package group and should get everything in it.
