according to https://github.com/blend-os/tracks/blob/main/default-gnome.yaml it adds extensions and removes some files

it's not sorry dunno why blend-files is re-added but we have noticed bugs with reinheritance

So thats why the plasma track is there

? reinheritance is inheriting a track that inherits a track I haven't been able to really look into it

Then why does the plasma track not get removed on using the gnome track

it should; assuming the update succeeds, i don't know how it couldn't that being said, anything in /etc would get copied over (also /opt is empty but that shouldn't affect that)

so if your greeter is still trying to use kde but gnome is currently there, and assuming the greeter is the same across your kde and gnome installs, then that could cause issues but with the defaults, that shouldn't happen they use different greeters, and the greeters are too smart for that i think
