A minimal Debian installation (which is easiest to do from the netinstall image, although it can be done from any other by selecting the appropriate option in the installation menu: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/615465 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/615465) gets you the most slimmed down system possible without going to something like Alpine. There's nothing to remove there if you want your system to boot at all.
No idea why it's not more popular tbh (I setup most systems this way both for security and efficiency reasons). The default installation profiles for most distributions are incredibly bloated in comparison (especially Ubuntu and such).

I'm writing this on a derivative booted into 'ramdisk' and running from there for 139 days now. (Oh my Gawd! How dare I?!) Because the good folks from AntiX and MX-Linux made it possible, and did the work for me. Making intelligent use of the facilities Linux can offer. apt-shred dist chainsaw!
