I’m not up on the flavours of Ubuntu, but I assume the LTS version is more server oriented and what in the name of whatever you hold holy is there that needs 6 GB to boot an OS? Have they ported bash to electron?
The server version requires 1.5 GB of RAM. That's still rather bloated considering Debian only requires 512 MB.
Well, that’s a lot more sensible but still rather fat. Good reminder not to install Ubuntu then.
