hey I just wanted to report that the pamac remove --orphans command will remove gdm which will result in having no graphical login manager until you login and reinstall it by doing pamac install gdm or sudo pacman -S gdm
I had this happen on two machines after I wanted to remove packages I no longer needed and it shouldn’t be removing gdm
I really hope I was quick on reporting this and helping you guys out so people don’t run into this minor issue 
An orphan is an orphan.
Usually you dont want to blindly remove them.
Though … probably gdm should be considered ‘explicitly installed’ ?
Yeah exactly that’s how it should be and it shouldn’t be removing core desktop packages. I’ll have to check a families machine as I also did it and make sure GDM is installed.
Core packages can be orphans too. It all depends on how they were installed or tagged.
Yeah that’s true tho I installed Manjaro Gnome itself and didn’t specifically install the desktop on it’s own so that’s pretty odd. I hope I have helped catch an issue before it affects anyone.
