The Orange Pi 5
Not to mention that if you really want to tinker you can use pi-gen to customise builds from a desktop without all that much difficulty:
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen
Worth a play.

Is there a way to turn a normal Raspberry Pi OS installation to a state as if I installed Raspberry Pi OS Lite?
If you want a comprehensive answer then you can look at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen and see what packages are installed in stage4 and stage5.

"Bootstrapping" a Debian install/config from a Raspberry Pi?
You can use the tool that the Pi foundation uses to generate their images: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen

Can you install raspAP without internet connection?
Re: a preconfigured SD with RaspAP, this is possible with pi-gen, the tool used to create the official RPi OS images, but the build process can be a bit involved.

Building Tiny Raspberry Pi Linux Images With Buildroot
I've been using pi-gen to build images. Does buildroot have any advantages over that?

Have you wondered what the "Recommended Software" is in "RPi OS with desktop and recommended software"? I made a quick comparison of the .info files to find the differences!
The OS images are generated using pi-gen. https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen/blob/master/stage5/00-install-extras/00-packages + Libreoffice is the list of additional packages in the recommended software image.All the other packages get pulled in as a dependency.

Microsoft repo installed on all Raspberry Pi’s
You can always create your own raspbian image using Pi-Gen. I’ve been looking into doing it for a couple projects already.

DietPi released a new version 9.1
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.
The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

The Orange Pi 5
Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.
https://www.armbian.com/download/
https://dietpi.com/#download
Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi
> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor
This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

Laptop so slow that even XFCE is laggy. What distro could run better?
You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
What are some alternatives?
