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
Memory requirements does not mean that something is bloated.
Windows XP required 65 MB of RAM. Does it mean Debian is bloated then?
2026 Debian Vs 2001 windows?
Or 2001 Debian Vs 2001 windows?
Cause 2001 Debian 2.2 was like 4MB ram, maybe 16 if you are really going for it!

So yeh, let’s continue comparing apples and oranges.
FreeRTOS is bloatware cause we were able to orbit a sphere that could reflect radio waves with a bunch of tubes and a handful of germanium.
What the fuck is this “windows xp Vs modern Debian” shit?
There’s a “minimal” install that gives you a bare desktop. The only thing I would consider bloatware is snapd.
