I just did "apt remove mythbuntu-desktop" on my mother's MythTV box.<br>
No other packages were removed (or added), and doing that should make<br>
it possible to do the upgrade to 22.04. But I have not tried that<br>
yet.<br>

On new installs, you would probably have to install xubuntu-desktop<br>
and then remove the packages you did not want. Or get a list of all<br>
the packages that xubuntu-desktop installs and manually install only<br>
the ones you want.<br>
<br>
With the -desktop packages, it seems the dependencies are one way -<br>
installing the -desktop package will install all the packages it<br>
wants, but removing any of those packages afterwards will not cause<br>
the -desktop package to be removed, and the packages you removed will<br>
not be reinstalled.<br>
