From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can start with
dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed withapt-mark.aptitudemay be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don't want to remove essential packages.
@ouch @WhiteOakBayou If you try to remove essential packages, it will not allow you without an extra flag, even as root.
