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!

    Have you thought about biting the bullet and just doing a full wipe and fresh OS install? I recently did this with a fresh, minimal Debian install, and it was so worth it.

      I just installed 6 months ago and I don’t feel any need or desire to do a full reinstall if I can avoid it

        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.
