Package `texlive' is a deprecated alias for `texlive-scheme-full', so yes, you 
can remove `texlive' and use only `texlive-scheme-full'.

However I strongly discourage from installing `texlive-scheme-full'. I don’t 
know your use case but you probably do not need at least 80% of the packages it 
provides (e.g., I assume you don’t write a thesis for 60 universities across 
the world). Instead, I suggest to select a few so-called collections of 
packages you may be interested in, such as 
`texlive-collection-latexrecommended', and possibly add some dependencies 
manually (in particular those coming from "latexextra" collection, which is 
huge) when compilation asks about them. At some point your setup will stabilize 
and you will end up managing Mo instead of Go of TeX packages.

There’s a thread about it  on TeX stackexchange : 
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/374303/luatex-error-unable-to-read-environment-localeexit-now>.
 You may want to check it for solutions.
