I decided to stick with XFCE and I removed mate... But I cant figure

I ran these commands:

( top of page )

and rebooted but my PC is still using GDM even though I ran the disable
GDM command.

I haven't followed this whole thread so hopefully you haven't already check this...

Did you do anything manually, like setting up service files or manually creating symbolic links in /etc/systemd/system? If so, that would override what's in /usr/lib/systemd/system.

Richard
