remove vino nukes fedora 26?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could explain what I'm missing here or why removing vino would corrupt the system? I thought vino was an optional remote desktop server and didn't think that gnome and such would depend on it but when I ran 'yum remove vino' and pressed y without paying heed, BOOM. Gnome crashed, then kernel crashed. It boots but is in shambles. Fortunately not a big deal as I had nothing on it. I am a casual linux user but learning and have the least experience with the Fedora/RH line so I'm trying to figure out how where I went awry here.
Thanks, Scott

That's why you have to be careful when you remove packages. How about
dnf remove -noautoremove vino
After further examination Fedora itself was not compromised. For some reason that I can't recall now, I thought there were other system issues after the incident. I was able to start the system and repair the damage that I had done. Thank you both.
