Since Ubuntu 23.10 the distro defaults to a minimal install, which preinstall only core software essentials (like a terminal and web browser). But users can opt for a “full installation” that preinstalls extra software, including a small selection of simple games.

Ubuntu 24.04 Drops GNOME Games from the Default Install

Ubuntu’s development team has decided to take a more minimalist approach to its default install. By removing the GNOME games from the upcoming 24.04 (Noble Numbat) release, the team will ensure a sleeker, more streamlined user experience.
Historically, Ubuntu followed GNOME’s lead by including a default set of games with its desktop environment. These ranged from classics like Aisleriot Solitaire and Mahjongg to Mines and Sudoku.

However, in alignment with GNOME’s recent shift towards a refined suite of core applications – exempting games – the Ubuntu team has re-evaluated the necessity of pre-installing these games.
