I typically start with a minimal Debian install too and add the following:
XFCE stands out in most cases if you require a very light environment.
I immediately set up Firefox and VLC because I use them the most.
I allow the firewall and the few basic security things but do not tinker much with other advanced options.
Oh, in that case I use Timeshift for backups and not Snapper because it is relatively easier for me.
I also add the non-free repo for packages such as propriety drivers or some codecs.
Oh, and I like to keep the ‘auto update’ button enabled for security patches so that you don’t have to be reminded.
