I have a plain LaTeX file which I want to compile to a PDF. I see that people suggest texlive-full for this task. At the same time, it weights ridiculous amount of memory.
$ apt-get install texlive-full
.....
Need to get 2586 MB of archives.
After this operation, 5304 MB of additional disk space will be used.
I don't think that such a simple operation (compiling a .tex file to a .pdf) should really require such a huge set of packages.

Start with texlive-latex-base. If TeX complains about missing files use "Search the contents of packages" at https://packages.ubuntu.com/ to find the package that provides it.
