OpenBSD Desktop

This reminds me of Debian- and Fedora-minimal on Qubes OS: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/

I always begin with a Debian minimal install (on bare metal though, not on Qube): no GUI. Just a minimal install, disk encryption/LUKS and booting to a text console. From there I install X, the awesome WM (a tiling WM) etc. It feels very light (despite the systemd monster of a PID1 and overreach spreading its tentacles everywhere around the system).

Needless to say: when I'm on my wife's Ubuntu desktop, it feels very heavy compared to my very minimalistic Debian / Xorg / tiling WM.

Debian can't be mininal these days, because it has the systemd behemoth. Try a minimalistic Devuan instead.

I would, I just can't get over the name.

Did you just say that a dictatorship would be better than a democracy?
