Hello,
I just installed my first arch linux and I'm trying to configure everything. When I boot I'm on terminal 2 and GDM is started, if I switch to terminal 1 (CTRL + ALT + F1), GDM is also started, it seem weird to me, is there a way to start GDM only one time ?
Also a other non-related question but there is all the gnome related folders in /root (Document, Music, Video, ..). I deleted all but the folders came back. I want a clean root folder, do you know how to disable gnome for root or something?

GDM leaves the login screen around because it was simpler when non-root X and Wayland sessions were implemented, since these could not reuse the existing X display.
The implementation could be extended to shut down the login screen while not in use. This is tracked at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747339 . However, it doesn't seem to get any priority.

The directory creation process should also have created /root/.config/user-dirs.dirs. As long as you do not delete this file, deleted directories should not come back, and their definitions will be set to the homedir itself.
Alternatively, you can systemctl --global disable xdg-user-dirs-update to disable the XDG dir management for all users.
