# Gnome-Corer
> [!Note]
> Please check out this newer tool for debloating by an awesome user [Aziz Emir](https://github.com/AzizEmir), I'm a contributor for the tool: [Debian-12-Debloat](https://github.com/AzizEmir/Debian-12-Debloat)
> [!Warning]
> This script is archived and wont work on Debian 13 Trixie! If you select only "Gnome" and deselect "Debian Desktop" in Trixie, you will get a debloated desktop environment. This means i will archive this script and i wont update it.

## What is it?
**Gnome-Corer** is a debloating script for Debian's bloated environment that will bring GNOME to a GNOME-Core level.
For now this only works for Debian 12 (Bookworm/Stable), Sid and Testing (Trixie) have some problems, but it will be fixed!
---
## For which distro is it made?
Gnome-Corer is written for **Debian**.
---
## For which Debian version is this?
Currently, this works on **Debian 12.11**. I will update with every Debian update.
---
## How to Use
1. Download the script from the latest release:
[Download Gnome-Corer](https://github.com/Mealman1551/Gnome-Corer/releases/download/1.1.0/gnome-corer.sh)
2. Make the script executable:
```bash
chmod +x gnome-corer.sh
3. Run the script with root privileges:
```bash
sudo ./gnome-corer.sh
And you're done! Your GNOME environment will now be debloated to a GNOME-Core level.
---
## How is it tested?
I use Debian {Version} in a Virtual Machine to test the removal of packages.
---
## Which packages are removed?
