and

$ dnf -q group info "Server with GUI"

@jlehtone thanks for the help

could be i am not sure but when i move the down arrow from any selection about that line it work fine then it hide like that then one more press it go the legacy unix option

but after fire your command and compare it with the selections from the installation i notice this group does not exist in the installation Games and Entertainment
so not sure if it’s that or something else

thanks for the help and have a nice day :slight_smile:

Some groups are marked hidden. See dnf --hidden group list
The installer might have custom filter on what groups it shows from repos.
