Hi list, I use LXDE on my Jessie laptop. I chose this desktop environment because I don't want a lot of "stuff" on my system. Everything there is essentially installed by me. I have Iceweasel, Claws-Mail, another GUI program or two, but that's it. Everything else, I do in a terminal. I even use Iceweasel to open the occasional PDF I come across (eliminating the need for another PDF viewer). I suppose I'm a minimalist in this sense. I would like to upgrade to Gnome so my desktop looks/feels a bit nicer and gain a few extra features I'm missing in LXDE. However, I don't want all the "stuff" that normally comes with Gnome. I have no use for: -GUI login screen/session manager -NetworkManager -GUI package manager -GUI text editor -Chat/Contacts/Keyring manager -Photo manager ....I think you get the idea by now. I did a bit of reading and would prefer the Gnome "Classic" interface. Is there a way to install this type of "minimal" gnome without breaking it too much? Is it even possible to do, or does it all depend on one another?
