[solved] archinstall downloads gnome after selecting awesomewm

Recently I wanted to try out awesomewm on an old laptop and opted to use archinstall to save time, after finishing up I noticed it's awful lot similar to gnome, when I checked it turns out it instead downloaded and setup gnome instead of awesome (it was a relitively minimal installation too without any themes or background even with gdm) . Just to be sure I repeated the installation twice and did confirm that for some reason on my device it persists with downloading gnome when selecting awesomewm, I haven't had the time to test other selections if they have the same result but I'm wondering if such a bug exists and how to prevent it. I will probably manually install it later but I found this interesting.

Solution: I assumed gdm doesn't differ much from sddm since I haven't used gnome before but that was the main reason the system looked off, awesomewm was installed but wasnt configured yet.

GDM is Gnomes DM, along with dependencies like, gnome-shell or gnome-session. Can you check if awesome is installed? If you want gnome you can also install awesome-gnome.

It does appear like awesome is installed yes probably the system appears this way because of gdm, I don't have a way to post the log file yet either but I'll test with sddm instead
