How can I remove a desktop environment? If I use KDE in CentOS, how can I remove the default GNOME environment to avoid file conflict?
- 1This doesn’t answer your question, but you can install KDE and GNOME in parallel without file conflicts, and Fedora and CentOS aren’t derivatives of each other.Stephen Kitt– Stephen Kitt2017-08-11 07:36:33 +00:00Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 7:36
- Does that include KDE Plasma or is KDE Plasma referred to as KDE?j. kay– j. kay2017-08-11 10:13:01 +00:00Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 10:13
- KDE Plasma is referred to as KDE, but you can install multiple desktops in Linux without any problem, no matter the desktop.IllustriousMagenta– IllustriousMagenta2017-08-11 10:52:37 +00:00Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 10:52

There will be no file conflicts with installing KDE Plasma and GNOME; however if you wish to save space:
Use this command to remove Gnome Desktop:
yum remove @gnome-desktop 
- what is the command used to remove desktop environments in debian-based distrosj. kay– j. kay2017-08-11 13:27:26 +00:00Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 13:27
- It would be
sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop(I though CentOS used Yum?)IllustriousMagenta– IllustriousMagenta2017-08-12 01:53:00 +00:00Commented Aug 12, 2017 at 1:53 - Yes centOS does use yum i was just using CentOS as an examplej. kay– j. kay2017-08-12 04:45:13 +00:00Commented Aug 12, 2017 at 4:45
