    Distros preinstalling software lol. It should be easy to find, install, uninstall, restrict and configure software. I dont care about that bloat in the ISO. Nice to find stuff sometimes, and maybe useful in areas with bad internet, but thats not what a distros job is

      thats not what a distros job is

      Bundling together a suite of many software packages into a usable system is the entirety of a distro’s job

        Hm yes but preinstalling everything just meets the need of some people that dont know what to install

          People like new and inexperinced Linux users, who are traditionally Ubuntu’s target audience?

          Nothing stopping an experienced user like yourself from using a more hands-on distro

            Ubuntu is not just preinstalled packages. You can use it for its software support, more stable releases and uninstall everything and get Apps purely from Flatpak.

            I mean, why not just open software and install literally one of the apps on the main page? Libreoffice, Thunderbird, Firefox are all there.
