I don't know why no one else has mentioned this already. In my opinion it is much easier to install a minimal set, and then build your desktop as needed rather than install the default, and get rid of Gnome. I'm an XFCE user (with lightdm as login manager), and everytime I did a fresh install, I used the minimal image. You can even do a network install. During that I simply select the gui packages I need (some subset of XFCE for me). This way I have a very small set of gnome packages. $ rpm -qa gnome\* | wc -l 18 I know 18 is not a very accurate count, but it is more or less there. Since you are using i3, I bet you can get the list to be even shorter! Often people say disk space is cheap, why bother? I have a tiny 20 gig / on my laptop, so it does matter to me. On my desktop, I don't care. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
