Yes. It is bloated. But not for the reasons you may think.
Live OSes need to fit multiple requirements compared to the installed ones. They need to:
- Install the OS without internet
- Provide a test ground for the OS
- Be a way to repair damaged OS
So of course it’s bloated, but in a good way. You may be already familiar with Ubuntu, and not care about the live OS part, so it would be bloat for you. You may not care about setting up disks, so GParted is bloat for you, etc…
If you want a less bloated installer, some other distros like debian give net installers
Live CD? More like live blu ray
Would fit on dual layer DVD.
CDs were 700MB
That’s not how you download ISOs… 😐…
👉 Qbittorent
Enjoy the faster downloads.

Your Internet is flying… Oh my gosh… just noticed… I could only dream of seeing such speeds with my ISP…
anyways, even if it was a 500Mb ISO, using Qbit is much faster and you help others too…
Seriously what’s in there? Last ISO I’ve used with size like this came with 6 different DEs. Ubuntu ships only Gnome IIRC
Ubuntu ships only Gnome IIRC
Unity is it’s default.Ubuntu switched back to GNOME as default six years ago
Dunno how or why, but I forgot about that.
Probably the last time you dared try Ubuntu! 😜
If only there was some alternative distro without the bloat. Say, one link down from that one.
LFS
Feckin gentoo
Keep It Bloated, Snappy.
I hate you for this pun
<3 Debian network install image.
Or Linux Mint regular ISO. You know its bad when Linux mint has a comparatively small iso
You definitely haven’t seen Bazzite yet
Hopefully has some games bundled in
I bet a ton of it is Nvidia and AMD junk.
Donald trumpVanillaOS please save me from these people 🙏 🙌
