Emacs packages

I use emacs-nox, since I don't use the GUI version of emacs, run it in text windows only (usually from a remote machine via ssh).

I normally run emacs -nw...

Don't you install any packages?

I originally installed the prelude package, which simplifies the use of emacs for new users, but I'm trying to scale its functionality back since it has too many functions which I will never understand. I'm now trying add packages piecemeal in the hope of gettng a better understand of how things work.
 
I'm pretty much no extra packages, but I do run the gui version :)
With no extra packages, you can do a lot of customization in the init file. For me that's mostly associating file extensions with specific modes, setting up desired formatting four source code.

Not if I don't need them. On the contrary, I try to keep the number of installed packages on my systems minimal.

There is already a very large amount of functionality in the base emacs, and I don't use more than a fraction of it.
 
Code: 
 '(package-selected-packages
   '(ednc async evil-collection google-translate elfeed-org elfeed-tube
          elfeed-tube-mpv embark-consult emmet-mode evil-leader
          fd-dired git-auto-commit-mode hydra iedit mpv ob-async rg s
          shrink-path undo-tree marginalia orderless embark vertico
          wgrep which-key yaml-mode doom-themes doom-modeline
          nerd-icons))

How do you generate a list of packages?
I'd be interested in which packages are installed by prelude.
