Description

The GNOME session handler, responsible for starting, managing, and ending a GNOME desktop session. It coordinates core session behavior so the desktop environment starts with the expected components.

Keep it installed on GNOME systems. It is infrastructure rather than an app, and removing it can prevent GNOME sessions from starting correctly.
