Why not just embracing simplicity? I have a golden rule for my systems. After booting into X and opening one terminal with htop and hiding kernel threads, everything should fit very comfortably in one screen. This constraint forces yourself to have a very simple setup. A few daemons, a window manager and a terminal. I do the rest of my computing in Emacs and Firefox. I have several Arch or NixOS setups that could work on a 128 MB RAM setup, excluding Firefox. Plus, if something breaks, I know how to fix it.
