Removing GNOME packages from KDE install
(lemm.ee)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I suppose Fedora works similar to Debian handling dependencies, thus uninstalling
libgtk*
should trigger removing all GNOME/GTK packages and apps. Removing a metapackage, like it's probablygnome-desktop
, usually does almost nothing.Edit: You can reinstall the GTK apps you like to use, e.g. Firefox or LibreOffice, later, as the user config files are not going to be deleted.
Edit 2: Maybe I've misunderstood: Do you want to keep the GNOME login session an desktop environment but use KDE apps like Kate instead of gedit?
I want everything GNOME gone. Decided KDE was more my style
Then, as I said, removing
libgtk2
andlibgtk3
, specifically, the corresponding packages containing these libraries, should trigger removing everything GNOME/GTK related.
