From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu is turning like Windows (lemmy.ml)

I guess it's time to leave Ubuntu as a new user and switch to a new distro. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Mint were my choice, but their base, Ubuntu, is becoming "bloated", and turning to a latest computers' OS. And I think it will affect its derivatives. Which distro would you suggest to switch to. I aint rich. I'm already aware of Fedora and its xfce, kde spins, Opensuse Leap and Tumbleweed, Debian and its derivatives, and Void. Are you planning to switch too.

So the bloat is on the disk, ISO file size, not on ram or performance or something?

The ISO is big because it contains programs that you can install only if you choose to. You can opt for a minimal installation.

Ok, I see, thanks for the info, man. That's very helpful.
