I want to remove xfce from my debian 12 system. What is the best way to do it?

    When I did this on Ubuntu, when I shut down I still see some stuff from xfce

      Not every package that comes with xfce has a name that starts with xfce4, just most of them do. You may need to identify and remove other packages too.

        This is why I hate apt

        In NixOS when you remove the package from the list of packages you don’t have the symlinks pointing to it anymore, so it is like it’s not there (you can garbage collect it)
