I run Mate under F30. I assume Mate calls a lot of Gnome code (most or all of what Gnome3 didn't change). So I never worry about any new app bringing Gnome stuff with it.
Until recently, I also made minor but important use of Konqueror and K3B; I've noticed, when sometimes I've added them to a straight Mate install, that I seem to get a whopping share of the rest of KDE with them. I do not use anything else from KDE as far as I know; but I know I don't know much.
BQ1 (Big Question 1) If I were to remove all of KDE, how would I do it? Find KDE in dnfdragora and follow my nose?? I had thought I could command "dnf remove kde" or "dnf remove KDE," and then go through the resulting list with a fine-tooth comb; but neither of those commands does anything, claiming instead not to have found anything.
BQ2 How much, at an educated guess, would I remove? Or is there a way actually to ascertain how much? Would it be worth it?
What are you looking to gain from this exercise?
