"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"

@memoriesin8bit I didn't know 🤣
But after a laugh I think a distro should not change your default DE, it's a bad behaviour

@pikario The way I understand is that often it's through people installing ProtonVPN tray icon which is only needed for Gnome and has all of it as a dependency. This then also installs GDM which boots to Gnome by default.
What I don't understand, yet is how just installing a Display/Login Manager automatically activates it. Say I installed it, I would need to disable SDDM and enable GDM. But I suppose some more beginner friendly distros do this automatically by now?

Alex@memoriesin8bit @pikario anything that depends on kde does something similar. After a while, you should be more aware of what does what, but even than replacing the display manager like that is just a bad design and requiring to install a whole de to use one thing is just inefficient, bad design, and bloatware.
