Ok so tonight I tried enabling, and I had to manually rm or mv the
existing display-manager.service file because enabling another DE would not
overwrite it. I tried both SDDM and LightDM... neither of which would boot
correctly, all got was a black screen with no mouse. Alt+F# would not work
either. So I'm thinking she locked up tight as a drum.
Here's some journalctl:

And LightDM:

UGH! I went through and individually removed all gnome things. And what
do you know, of course there was a hidden dep in the list for that damned
GDM. So a sudo dnf list installed | grep gdm returned zilch!
So reinstalling gdm* put almost all of it back! What the hell! I'm beyond
frustrated at this point. I can't get any other DM to work and my
journalctl is FULL of BS errors related to Gnome crap that I dont even use.
