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.
I hate when people here complain of “bloat” since often it just means “there’s this one thing I don’t use and it irrationally offends me by its existence”.
You can uninstall just about anything you don’t want. So very much not like Windows in that regard.
Are you running out of space? Out of memory? Or simply offended that some functionality you don’t like exists?
