You’ll need at least 6GB of RAM to run Ubuntu 26.04 LTS comfortably, as the upcoming version of the distro raises its minimum memory requirement for the first time since 2019.

    AFAIK perfomance and low resource usage has never been a main objective of this distro

      Ubuntu is bloated

      Debian requires at least 512MB of memory and 4GB of hard disk space for installation.

        Memory requirements does not mean that something is bloated.

        Windows XP required 65 MB of RAM. Does it mean Debian is bloated then?

        There’s a “minimal” install that gives you a bare desktop. The only thing I would consider bloatware is snapd.
