... because eventually the kernel will have more unneeded modules than needed ones.
In my opinion, unneeded modules don't harm the system, just take up space on disk. I even do think (never did) that they can be deleted without issues if you know what you are doing.

My main doubt with respect to that is the eventual updating/upgrading of the kernel.
Nowadays distibutions kernels boast all the range of modules ready to install, so I don't see why a custom kernel is required anymore. Last time I did I was still young 
Anyway, sometimes you need to compile your kernel tailored to your hardware at hand. As aluma said, you have to answer a lot of questions, but only if you configure from scratch. You can shortcut using a config file to start with. When upgrading, use your own config file again to recompile.
It was not much trouble, and it was trendy when I did. ¡YMMV!

Another question is that for this you need to have a modern computer.
On a machine with a Core 2Duo E8400/4Gb, compilation takes 3 hours
My first custom kernel needed all night to compile on a 486 with 16 MB of RAM

I miss Flash.
Out there are quite a few alternatives to run legacy swf files on modern OS.

Glad to know

No provider of eglCreateImage found
According to https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/8013
this is worth a try:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1I hope it helps

Anyone who is asking for citations is failing to use their own brain and this cannot be helped. (I'm out of this thread, nothing more left to say. Who hasn't grasped it yet never will.)
It is very likely that you misunderstood me. But you used very rude wording which prevents further digging into a very technical subject.

I tried to extract the folder with Colloroid to the path usr/shame/theme/ but I get an error saying that I do not have enough rights to extract to this directory
You have to do it as the user named "root".

If you have acess to other computer, you can download the file and install it with dpkg. Or, in your computer, using a live system booting it off an USB drive.

Unfortunately, nobody writes HTML in the editor these days.
I'm pretty sure that a few people in this very forum still do. And I'm one of those

I don't use Arial on my systems, but install it and their siblings on the systems I install for other people. I find free fonts good enough to replace Arial and so. It is a bit strage that the OP doesn't have a good replacement alias list, though.

in the computer classroom that I manage for my students
I've been there. I used Debian too. I'm retired, but if I had to do it again, my choice will be Devuan.
Just for the record: I had no glitches at all in my classroom, and ParallelSSH was a good friend of mine.

no relation/dependency between those 2.
Just guessing: may be one of them have a dependency needed by the other but not stated?

Extra storage can always come in external USB drives - what other expansion were you thinking about(?).
I find suitable in my use case hot swappable SATA drive bays. Sure that USB 3.0 is fast enough to backups, but I prefere a real SATA conexion.
