Fabian, Sigh. I am a pretty basic guy. What you are asking here is beyond me. See the end here, where I did some group info on my F28 system. I really need a cookbook of what groups to install on minimal and then some script to at least get Xfce base in. Like I said, if you want a desktop on an armv7 SOC, something nicer to your resources is valuable. Xfce was there first in Fedora. I have looked at some of the others since them, and have stayed with Xfce.
