# What ? This kickstart file provides a basic block to build a minimal and customized desktop-oriented operating system using GNOME Shell.

xconfig --startxonboot --defaultdesktop=GNOME # Start the display session on boot. Although it says --startx, which seems to imply xorg, it is actually generic and thus works also with Wayland.

%packages --exclude-weakdeps # Beginning of the packages section. Excludes weak package dependencies

gnome-shell # the version 3 of the GNOME desktop environment, without any presintalled applications
gnome-terminal # install the default terminal for GNOME Shell
-gnome-tour # delete GNOME Tour so it doesn't automatically launch on boot 
mesa-dri-drivers # add mesa drivers otherwise there is a blank screen when first booting a desktop-based kickstart without virtualization tools 
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts # the gnome-shell package doesn't include much fonts by default, resulting in weird spacings in GNOME Terminal. GNOME Terminal unfortunately doesn't automatically pick this font 
elementary-wallpapers-gnome.noarch # Gorgeous wallpapers from the elementary OS project
wpa_supplicant # WPA Supplicant for Linux. It is not packaged by default in gnome-shell, but necessary to configure wireless networks using the Network Manager
nano # The nano text editor
