How to completely remove gnome DE from Zorin Core

I did this:

sudo apt install zorin-os-lite-desktop 

Because I hate gnome, and now I want to remove every trace of it, no nautilus, no GDM; how do I do that?

That's a tedious/extreme to do job. Easier would be to clean install lite version.

It seems like the best approach, I hate workarounds.
Another question, Will performance be better with a fresh install? Or Will it be the same now? (without deleting gnome)

Fresh install is always better, cleaner :slight_smile:

Most likely, performance would be the same. However, a fresh install is cleaner, safer and less clutter.
If keeping Zorin Lite Desktop installed on a machine that is loaded with Zorin Core, it would be preferable to keep the Core desktop installed and just generally ignore it. Because Gnome contains a lot of integrated packages and the more of those you have, the more can go wrong in a removal.
If you want it gone,a Fresh install of Zorin Lite is the best way to go for a stable system, not really to see a difference in performance of Lite on either build.
