Is there a way to download Debian with GNOME without all the bloat?

You don't use GNOME to get rid of bloat. You use it to get a fully functional opinionated desktop without tweaking too much.

If you want no "bloat", whatever that is, use some minimal compositor like Sway or something.

Personally, I say: Give me all the bloat, I love it! I love every cool and quality of life feature there is. I have enough space on any desktop computer.

Yes, I understand that, but I don't need all the games and stuff installed by default. Sway is a whole different experience. I use i3 on my older laptop (Macbook A1181 w/ Libreboot) but I personally wouldn't want to use it unless I needed to.

GNOME is a gorgeous desktop environment, I just hate the fact that I have to take a additional 5-10 minutes every install just removing all the stuff I don't need. Is there a debloater script for GNOME that you know of?
