Hey guys, I'm on a minimal install and would like to remove a few more packages/software that I don't use but I wanna make sure I won't break anything first.
I don't use printers (CUPS) and I don't use development tools (Qt Designer, Qt Assistant, Qt Linguist). Are those needed by the OS or can I safely remove them? If so, I would be really grateful if any of you could give me a list of the packages that I can safely remove. Thanks!
I would like to remove a few packages if possible

Pacman is your best answer for this, see:

https://kaosx.us/docs/pacman/#removing-packages
When using pacman -R package_name, it will tell you if it is needed by other packages, and the transaction should be stopped. As in the guide, pacman -Rs package_name will remove the package and dependencies. Cups should be removed with -Rs, as long as you didn't add any that need cups (libs).
The Qt packages you mention are part of qt5-tools, qt5-tools can't be removed.
