 DW> I was hoping there might still be some debian-based "lighter weight"

I don't think there is such a thing (debian-based)

anyway alpine linux is what everyone uses, especially for docker, but there's
no reason you can't make a desktop out of it. linux is bloated and unorganized
and generally confused. I would suggest learning OpenBSD or some other "pure
unix", you really can't get a "small linux", when, linux is itself just a
kernel with hodgepodge of mostly dead/inactive (and thanks to debian,
"adopted") packages. What you're asking for is a *complete*, integrated unix
system, the kernel, system services, userland, drivers, everything fully
integrated into a single system. There is very little waste.
