Title:
Ubuntu ISO Download Size of 6GB Impacts Millions in Low-Broadband
Regions
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The Ubuntu ISO (24.04) has grown excessively, now demanding a hefty 6
GB download simply to run a Live system or install Ubuntu. While this
might not seem significant from a Global-North perspective, where fast
broadband connections are prevalent, we must not forget the millions
worldwide who lack such luxury. For them, downloading the ISO becomes
a major hurdle. This departure from Ubuntu's mission is disheartening,
considering its roots and commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
