Does Installing KDE Plasma on Debian Bullseye Necessarily Install a Bunch of KDE Apps I don't Need?

Can I install just the KDE Plasma GUI/desktop interface on Debian 11 (Bullseye) without installing any KDE apps by default? In other words, does doing sudo apt -y install task-kde-desktop install only the GUI and nothing else? Of course I don't mind getting the file manger and other such essential utilities, but I don't want anything from office software suites and drawing programs to web browsers to be installed without my consent.

Thank you! Oh, and please consider the fact that I am a Linux newbie (no more than a few days experience), but I'm OK with computers in general.

You need to install the kde-plasma-desktop instead of task-kde-desktop through apt or tasksel, as said in the package description:

KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications

KDE is the powerful, integrated, and easy-to-use Free Software desktop platform and suite of applications.

This metapackage pulls in the core modules released with the KDE Software Compilation including the basic KDE Plasma Desktop, minimal set of basic applications (browser, file manager, text editor, system settings, panel, etc.), important libraries and data.

command:

sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop plasma-nm
