Remove mention of the word (Xfce) from my Fedora Xfce Spin

Hello fedora discussions,

I want to remove the mention of (Xfce) from GRUB and any fetch command output.

I will most likely move away from Xfce into another desktop, most likely KDE. I just don’t vibe with it as I used to.

It would be much nicer looking on fastfetch output to just see Fedora 41 on my KDE desktop terminal instead of Fedora 41 (Xfce), including the GRUB boot.

Help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I figured out how to change the OS output in any fetch output

sudo dnf swap fedora-release-identity-xfce fedora-release-identity-kde
sudo dnf swap @xfce-desktop @kde-desktop

but (Xfce) is still appearing on GRUB

Do you mean the “title” line in the /boot/loader/entries/*.conf files? Those will gradually disappear as you install new kernels (after you’ve switched your release). Or you could change them retroactively with a sed script or something.

Yeah after dnf swapping desktop environments and receiving the new kernel everything is fixed now
