[SOLVED] What packages must be in the most minimalistic XFCE desktop?

I'd like to have a minimalistic XFCE environment without any additional applications and services. I need only XFCE session itself and Terminal without any GUI settings, file manager etc. What packages I have to install that only make such environment working?

Debian/Devuan or other other Debian forks.

Here you go

The first part is the most minimalist possible way to install Xfce core.

You didn't tell us what system you're using? though you can refer to Devuan page to adapt packages according to your OS.

Thank you! It's exactly the answer I needed!
I'm using stripped Ubuntu, by the way.

Fine, very nice using striped Ubuntu. Edit the title and mark it as [SOLVED] so anyone who is looking for such topic can easily find it.

@eight.bit.al thanks bro!
