"my Linux distro suddenly booted into Gnome because I didn't realize a package I installed yesterday had all of Gnome as a dependency"
is referred to at
"getting gnomed"
Eggs now in different baskets.@memoriesin8bit 1/2 I experienced the opposite of this after installing the XFCE desktop on my PinePhone alongside the GNOME based Phosh UI that ships with mobian.
I normally prune all the GNOME based "phone" apps from my PinePhone after installing mobian and replace them with desktop apps.
I booted into the XFCE desktop and realised that I had missed one these phone apps. "I will just uninstall that while I am here" I thought.
@memoriesin8bit 2/2 I opened Synaptic, found the package I wanted to remove but after hitting the "Apply" button I stopped the process.
In order to remove this app whilst running the XFCE desktop Synaptic infomed me that the whole of GNOME would also have to be removed.
I booted back into Phosh and was able to delete just the app using apt without uninstalling GNOME and all of Phosh.
