    Not every package that comes with xfce has a name that starts with xfce4, just most of them do. You may need to identify and remove other packages too.

      This is why I hate apt

      In NixOS when you remove the package from the list of packages you don’t have the symlinks pointing to it anymore, so it is like it’s not there (you can garbage collect it)
