...Most of
the bloat however comes from installation of a DE; I deliberately did
not install any of the DEs favoured by Debian. Consequently I had to
install the x-window-system before installing the DE of my choice....
As every DE depends on X, required X packages will automatically be installed
simply by installing even a minimal TDE. There's been no need for me to take
the extra step in Debian, *buntu, Mageia, Fedora or openSUSE.
