I cannot tell you how much I love that the process of
"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"

https://www.reddit.com/r/gotgnomed/

@memoriesin8bit why is it mostly mint users getting gnomed?
@me no idea. But if I had to guess it's a popular newcomer distro
@memoriesin8bit I wonder if there's something about their packaging too

@me
I'd suggest that it has to dobwith the fact that Mint is pased on Ubuntu's repos, which probably use a lot of gnome dependencies, ad Ubuntu itself is using (a varint of) gnome in its main flavour
