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.
