I find it easier to install the entire desktop and then uninstall the particular apps that I don’t like/need.

I have been using a Dymo and it works perfectly on Linux Mint for printing 4x6 labels.

No audio, no WiFi, no well-established communities, sparse software selection, but total freedom on an alternate OS. I tried it out in the late 90s with Red Hat, left, came back about 5 years later in the early 2000s and stayed forever. SuSE 9.2 was amazing.
