I tried this command to install gnome on a terminal only machine:
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive # Non-interactive mode is used to avoid unexpected promptsapt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gdm3 gnome-shell gnome-session gnome-control-center gnome-terminal nautilus gnome-settings-daemon gnome-keyring xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gnome pipewire pipewire-audio wireplumber dbus-x11this works but there's lot of things missing like network manager, terminal on right click and so on.
I would like to stay minimal however I would like a system fully usable.
Basically I would like a gnome desktop out of the box with gedit, terminal emulator and firefox-esr
Alternatives are:
apt-get install -y gnome-core gdm3or even
apt-get install -y task-gnome-desktopbut with this command, the gnome-core and gdm alone are more than 700 packages
There's a way to exclude things that are not needed like apt-get install -y task-gnome-desktop~(libreoffice* rhythmbox*) and so on?
Install and purge after seems nonsense to me.
You have a better solution for a full working minimal gnome under wayland?
