I started with Fedora Workstation which comes with GNOME as the default DE. I installed KDE afterwards, tried it a bit, and decided I simply like it more due to the customization freedom. Now I want to fully switch to KDE only, and I was wondering if there is a painless way to completely remove GNOME from my system and keep KDE, or do I have to do a fresh install?

Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this has been asked many times before.
