Ask HN: Why are Ubuntu images so big?
I just downloaded 23.10 and its 4.8GB. I went back and looked at the last few years releases
- 23.10 - 4.8G
- 23.04 - 4.6G
- 22.10 - 3.8G
- 22.04 - 3.4G
- 21.10 - 2.9G
- 21.04 - 2.6G
- 20.10 - 2.7G
- 20.04 - 2.5G
Maybe it's a noob question, but I can't find anyone else commenting on this. Why has Ubuntu doubled in size since mid-2020? Why does it grow by so much with every new release?
