I installed Ubuntu bionic. I then installed Unity desktop. How can I delete all packages that are required by Gnome, but skip packages that are also needed by Unity.
As an example, Wayland/xorg will be skip. But gnome shell will be deleted.

By default,aptdoes not remove dependencies of installed packages. By default, ifunityis installed, then all ofunity's dependencies are installed.
