The entire gnome DE as a dependency? I have no idea. What kind of software is doing that aside from the gnome desktop anyway?

  Yep. It’s real, scores of noobs on the reddit subs sobbing about.
  
  I believe protonvpn install was the usual culprit. I won’t link to reddit but the /r/linuxmint sub has many posts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
