...is irrelevant due to how Slackware works.
It installs all dependencies for the entire official repo right from the start.

In German, it's sugarwadding.
I use "stable" not in the sense of "doesn't break", but in the sense of "doesn't change its behaviour".
Debian is rock solid, but Slackware is the most stable in the sense that it still looks and works pretty much exactly like it did 10-20 years ago.
Let's get back to talking about Rampart.
Yeah, 200GB is not normal. Sounds more like you at some point clicked "select all" and then "install" in Synaptic. (This kills the Debian)
Yes, you can install different DEs without conflict.
But manually and individually removing all packages you think belong to one DE will lead to breakage. XWayland is like a compatibility layer that lets programs designed for X work in Wayland.
Yes, if you install and start Gnome, you're using Wayland. Programs that can't will use XWayland. You don't have to worry about it.
Then google how to reset the BIOS password on your hardware. Sometimes it's a jumper you can reset, sometimes you have to take out the CMOS battery, sometimes you have to call the manufacturer and provide proof of purchase.
Have you tried it in Chromium?
Cleaning out the billionaires from behind the curtains
A reinstall will get you back to a working desktop for watching media and browsing the internet within half an hour.
Much faster than trying to backtrack all the stuff you did and figuring out what's wrong.
And you seem to have messed up quite a bit by trying to remove a lot of stuff manually, package by package. IMO that's a waste of time, and has a 50/50 chance of messing up apt.
All they take up is a bit of drive space (likely less than 1GB). Just remove what you don't need from autostart and the menus if it bothers you.
Couldn't you just use the web app?
Unfortunately, dropping ice asteroids onto earth creates more heat from atmospheric friction.
That'll make setting up your wifi from the command line all kinds of fun.
Even my SSID with , and : in it stumps the Debian installer.
