Quoting: Ubuntu is easily the most bloated Linux distro, but it doesn't have to be —
Compared to the bloat-infested design of the Windows lineup, the Linux ecosystem may seem like a safe haven for folks who don’t want their OS afflicted with tons of intrusive “features” and non-essential services that run around the clock. That said, modern distributions tend to feature their own set of useless packages, especially once you go for Linux flavors that ship with pre-installed desktop environments.
Take Ubuntu, for example. Sure, you could run it on aged systems that don’t meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, but you might find several other GUI-heavy distributions that deliver better performance. Having spent my fair share of time with different versions of Ubuntu, I have to admit that the full-desktop variant may seem overly bloated for Linux veterans. But you don’t have to deal with the excess services just to tinker with this uber-popular Linux distribution.
