I have GNOME installed in my NixOS version 21.05. Epiphany is a GNOME application for web browsing that comes as a default application. I would like to remove it.
How can I remove Epiphany without removing other parts of GNOME?
According to the NixOS wiki, the following snippet can be added to remove GNOME applications in general:
environment.gnome.excludePackages = [ pkgs.gnome.cheese pkgs.gnome-photos pkgs.gnome.gnome-music pkgs.gnome.gnome-terminal pkgs.gnome.gedit pkgs.epiphany pkgs.evince pkgs.gnome.gnome-characters pkgs.gnome.totem pkgs.gnome.tali pkgs.gnome.iagno pkgs.gnome.hitori pkgs.gnome.atomix pkgs.gnome-tour ];
In order to remove only Epiphany, the following line must be added to the configuration.nix file:
environment.gnome.excludePackages = [ pkgs.epiphany ];
It worked as expected for me.
