www.omgubuntu.co.uk
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS raises its minimum RAM requirement to 6GB, the first increase since 2019. Systems with less memory still work, but the experience may suffer.

You’ll need at least 6GB of RAM to run Ubuntu 26.04 LTS comfortably, as the upcoming version of the distro raises its minimum memory requirement for the first time since 2019.

    I have an idea of how they could reduce the fish requirements.

    How about using shared libraries instead of bundling everything in every snap all the times?

    Amazingly it reduces RAM usage as well.
