Ubuntu ISO Download Size of 6GB Impacts Millions in Low-Broadband Regions

[florianh]

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.
