Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I was using fedora 28 with cinnamon desktop environment. It also had gnome desktop environment. I ran a command something along the lines of sudo dnf remove gnome* which remove everything there was along with the terminal as the default was gnome-terminal.
