Hi,
I have shifted to KDE from GNOME in Fedora using :
dnf install @kde-desktop
and uninstalled GNOME using:
dnf remove @gnome-desktop
Now common sense says that I should not be able to use GNOME any more.
*But,*
*I can seemingly log into GNOME from SDDM. *
The option still works, how ??
How is this possible?
*Does SDDM emulate GNOME ? Or did I not remove it from my system ?*
Can someone shed some light on this weirdness ?
You are seeing gnome-shell launched as part of the gnome-session
package, which are probably both installed.
'dnf remove @gnome-desktop' doesn't remove gnome-session or
gnome-shell packages. Group remove only removes packages that don't
already belong to another dnf group or weren't installed explicitly by
the user (the latter of which is probably happened in anaconda).
