Luckily, I have actually found a way of reverting the changes.

If you run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove gnome-session gnome-shell nautilus gedit gnome-terminal seahorse gnome-tweaks piwiz network-manager

then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt auotremove

you can then re-install using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install raspberrypi-ui-mods pi-greeter rpd-icons

This may leave some left over gnome apps, but you should have Raspberry Pi OS desktop back

Does this work for you?

Hello Giga_Pi,

You have done good job creating this. Saying those on after reading all comments who have installed and its working for them. But for nerd like me did not think of backing up my system before trying this out. Am agreeing this due to lack of my knowledge. But if you can just put this "WARNING" statement (Please do back up your system if something fails so original system image can be loaded back to get you to a state where it was working all for your in Raspberry Pi Desktop OS) inside your original post to beginners who are trying to do this. Actually had all VPN, Docker, nextcloudPi and was running my system smooth but after this nothing is coming up. The internet broke, could not find what IP is assigned to raspberry pi, basically don't know what my external SSD was doing it. So now simply loading the fresh copy of Raspbian OS and starting from scratch. This is a big learning for me though. Have to learn to back my system.

This would really help others like me before trying this.

Now to try your this GNOME we will use fresh SD Card to play around first and then will go forward with it.

Thank You :)
