When was Ubuntu “lightweight”? I’m not saying it was always bloated, but it was never supposed to be minimalist either. It was just an easy works-out-of-the-box Linux experience.

When they first started, they had a list of promises. One of them was to always fit on a 800meg CD.

In the early 2000s, that wasnt particularily lightweight. I believe it came with openoffice and the full gnome desktop. That was not really minimal in any way.

It was only lightweight in comparison to Windows, but every other OS is.
