    If you really want a minimal installation, either Guix OS or Nix OS are probably your best bet, because they both use what are called "pure functional package managers," which are a very modern dependency management algorithm to compute very precisely the exact software that you need, which ensure ALL software that you do not absolutely 100% need is never installed.
