I receive the message:
The following packages will be REMOVED: desktop-base gnome-control-center
Is auto removing desktop-base safe? I want to retain all of the other desktop environments to see how TDE interacts in a mixed environment.
Hi Darrell,
AFAIK there are some "things" in the Gnome Desktop that
a) seem to be installed anyway b) don't work well with TDE (I guess Gnome wants to remain in control)
Anyway, from my experience, if it's TDE you want to run, removing it is safe, but I'd expect that you can't run Gnome Desktop after that.
Actually, if you want complete TDE "experience", you should use TDM-Trinity (while many other DM use lightdm). TDE will run on lightdm, but some things will be different (log out / shutdown for one).
