If you install one environment group (list of groups) then you can install all optional packages from groups (with `with-optional`) it contains or none optional. You can do `dnf group info <env>` as you already did and install mandatory groups `dnf group install <env>` + for each optional group: `dnf group install <opt_grp>`.
Well, that makes sense. It wasn't obvious from the man pages nor the documentation that this was how it worked.
Packages that are optional and installed along with `with-optional` switch could be skipped if they get into conflict with other packages. This feature is in DNF for ~year. You can go with just mandatory packages and then install the rest when you need them.
I will do that. Thanks!
