Hello, a somewhat tangential question, since in any case Gnome is an important part of our system: Can we make it easier for a user to get rid of everything Gnome?
Personally I chose the XFCE desktop (but might also be happy with others, such as KDE or LXQT), but I think GDM is still required as the login manager. So here are a list of questions: Is it possible to choose a desktop/graphical environment for which I would not need GDM and all the complications this is pulling in? Can I choose the login manager separately from the desktop environment (KDM, XDM)? If yes, should the default for xfce-desktop-service-type be changed (why GDM and not XDM)? Should it become an entry in the xfce-desktop-configuration record? If not, can we somehow get there? Your help with understanding the situation would be appreciated. Actually it is not completely tangential; we might want to at least create the option of not shipping Gnome at all if the dependency on systemd becomes too annoying. Andreas
