I use hosting from DigitalOcean, it suits everyone. But the presence of a bunch of extra packages, utilities, etc. has always bothered me.
Recently I came across such a video where a DO user installs Debian via iPXE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd0Ln2jL8Lo
But for some reason I can’t even enter the settings menu. Either I don't have time to press CTRL+B, or it just doesn't respond.
Is it possible to somehow install custom Linux through iPXE or in another way?

So this one.
Why is ipxe needed?
