I don’t recall Ubuntu being a lightweight distro or ever aiming to be. It was always Debian with more stuff.

They have had light official flavors (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Netbook remix). But primary distro that has always been either Gnome or Unity has been fully-featured. It’d only consider it “light” compared to Windows.
