Canonical's Ubuntu is Bloatware
A reader has told us that the latest LTS of Ubuntu, or Ubuntu 24.04 (released 1.5 years ago), "demands at least 25GB for the system partition, but is rumored to really require more than 40GB to actually work."
It has probably gotten worse since then, as a spy is managing the development and derailing things.
So where does the claim about requirements come from?
This is based on part 1 of this page at the official Ubuntu site:
Worse yet, it demands (according to them, "recommended") no less than 4GB of RAM (I didn't even have a PC with more than 2GB of RAM until 2020).
How did Ubuntu get so fat? It didn't really improve in any measurable way, it just got newer versions of the same old things.
How can programs even add up to so much disk space?
We can't find an authoritative quote on the 40 GB - 50 GB size, but the 25 GB is documented fact, just see the link above. █
