Hi all,I'm a newcomer to Fedora and still learning its ways so excuse me if my question sounds stupid. Now, I want to remove GNOME from my install as I use i3; from what I saw there's no gnome-group or similar goup available, how should I proceed?
You want to remove Gnome, and then what? Without Gnome, you do not have an X desktop.
Perhaps you want to switch from Gnome to another window manager, like XFCE or KDE. Well, after installing the appropriate group, you should have an option to switch your session to the new window manager, when logging in.
Although, in my case, when I finally had enough of Gnome, and switched to XFCE, I found that my login user environment was too polluted with various Gnome-related flotsam, even after I logged into XFCE. To make a clean break, I had to create a new userid, move/change ownership of all documents and files, to the new userid, then delete the old one.
Of course, all of the old baggage still remains installed, after that. A small waste of disk space, mostly. I should, one of these days, go over and clean up as much of the unused Gnome stuff as I can find.
