Alright, this got (and still is getting) enough attention for a shameless self-advertisement!
I wish I had a Soundcloud, but I don't. I only make games. Right now I'm making a game where you can build your own marble machines. If that sounds like something you enjoy, feel free to follow (cause I don't have a store page, yet (cause I'm incredibly lazy))
EDIT: And yes, it'll get a native Linux version. And no, it doesn't require GNOME as a dependency.
@memoriesin8bit this looks off the rails!

@memoriesin8bit I wonder if there's something about their packaging too
@me
I'd suggest that it has to dobwith the fact that Mint is pased on Ubuntu's repos, which probably use a lot of gnome dependencies, ad Ubuntu itself is using (a varint of) gnome in its main flavour -

And don't forget that to undo it, you must "purge gnome" -
@memoriesin8bit is there a first-person (first-marble) camera setting?
@bassistance Just want to let you know that I am exploring the possibilities.

That is strange
That a whole DE would come with a package like that
But I guess it could be worse
It could have booted into KDE -

@pikario The way I understand is that often it's through people installing ProtonVPN tray icon which is only needed for Gnome and has all of it as a dependency. This then also installs GDM which boots to Gnome by default.
What I don't understand, yet is how just installing a Display/Login Manager automatically activates it. Say I installed it, I would need to disable SDDM and enable GDM. But I suppose some more beginner friendly distros do this automatically by now?@memoriesin8bit @pikario anything that depends on kde does something similar. After a while, you should be more aware of what does what, but even than replacing the display manager like that is just a bad design and requiring to install a whole de to use one thing is just inefficient, bad design, and bloatware.

@zuthal But also really funny. I mean I feel bad for new users getting confused and frustrated, but I can't help but chuckle. I'm a bad person.
