I should have said "apt install --purge gnome".

However, apt will remove anything that has the most minor dependency on
anything GNOME.  aptitude is what I'd use to do a surgical removal of GNOME.

I'm a XFCE fan these dates but MATE brings baack memories of my first
exposure to Linux which was with Red Hat (I'd learn about Slackware a year
later).
