Total false statement and non-sense.

There's many and many more Debian server running without Gnome. Some of
them don't even have a video card connected to a monitor.

You can choose during installation of Debian to use XFCE as desktop
manager without installing Gnome.

There's even a Debian live disk (DVD/USB stick) that runs XFCE, you can
use this one to try out and install from it after.

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-10.10.0-amd64-xfce.iso

And even better

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-10.10.0-amd64-standard.iso

The last one is without any type of desktop manager at all.
