That depends on what you choose to run, and how. I would not
recommend trying to do anything interesting on a machine with
less than 256MB of RAM. That will not be enough for many common
uses.
According to <https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch03s04.en.html>
256 MB is the absolute minimum amount of RAM for installing bookworm
on an AMD64 machine, using the text installer and no GUI packages.
However, if one is trying to set up a low-memory server of some kind,
especially in a virtual machine or similar environment, that's an
entirely different line of questioning.
I'm guessing that's NOT the goal here, because the OP mentioned WiFi.
This leaves me somewhat perplexed.
FWIW, i don't think a minimal bullseye install will boot under xen with
128MB of ram configured. IIRC Buster will.
