Is Official Ubuntu Mini ISO Truly Minimal? A Test Drive
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**How minimal is the new Ubuntu minimal installer for its Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” release? Let’s find out.**
|
||||
|
||||
A few weeks back Canonical/Ubuntu developers [confirmed][1] the introduction of an official minimal installer for Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster. This was great news for those who have been waiting for an official minimal ISO image of Ubuntu Linux, as Canonical/Ubuntu never officially supported any minimal ISO images.
|
||||
|
||||
While there was some unofficial legacy minimal ISO images of Ubuntu during Ubuntu 18.04 days, they have all been discontinued. This unavailability of a minimal installer was a deal breaker for some, considering the popularity of Ubuntu Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
As announced, Canonical has now unveiled an official minimal installer (currently in Beta) for its Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster release, ending the wait for those looking to install a lightweight version of Ubuntu Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
I ran a test drive on this BETA iso and this is what I found.
|
||||
|
||||
The official Ubuntu mini ISO installer is now available to try out as per the latest Beta release. The official ISO image is of size 113 MB for the “Lunar Lonster” release. It is indeed small in size.
|
||||
|
||||
When you first boot up the minimal ISO, you have two main options – installation option for the server and for the desktop. The current beta minimal ISO, which I used for this test drive, shows Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu – released last year. However, ignore the label for now.
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu minimal install - first menu][2]
|
||||
|
||||
I tried to install the desktop version first. Surprisingly, it launched a downloader to get all the packages for the standard desktop install. The minimal desktop option would download 3GB+ packages over the internet, and it takes quite some time. The download for my test took significant time, considering my location and the status of the Ubuntu server.
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu mini installer downloads the desktop itself online][3]
|
||||
|
||||
If you compare the time and effort to use minimal Ubuntu ISO to install a desktop with regular download, it’s much slower and takes significant system resources. For example, the entire Ubuntu desktop download is stored in memory while the installer runs.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, the minimum RAM size is 8GB for this minimal ISO. You can’t get the installer running without 8GB of RAM. On the other hand, if you download the Ubuntu desktop via a standard torrent, the minimum RAM requirement is 4GB to start the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
![Mandatory requirement of 8GB RAM for Ubuntu mini ISO][4]
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading, the installer launches a LIVE Ubuntu system where you can install an Ubuntu desktop with GNOME as you do today. No difference at all.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving on to the server option, I chose the option Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server from the minimal installer. To my surprise, the server option also requires a minimum of 8GB of RAM for installation to start. And it downloads around ~1.8GB of packages based on the version. After that, it starts the normal Ubuntu server installation. No difference at all either from a normal server installation.
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu mini ISO - server option is just regular server installation][5]
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu mini ISO - server install takes around 7GB of storage][6]
|
||||
|
||||
To conclude, the minimal desktop installer is just a CLI frontend to download the entire Desktop or server images, nothing else. The primary use cases of this installer might be network installation of Ubuntu desktops or servers. But again, you need a stable internet connection to download everything.
|
||||
|
||||
On a similar note, the Xubuntu team [provided][7] a minimal ISO a few weeks back with just base Ubuntu and vanilla Xfce without any additional applications.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, this installer is not what you think it is from the name. It would have been great if a “true” minimal ISO was provided with essential Ubuntu components without a desktop environment, Snap, etc. Just like a vanilla Arch installation without any desktop components.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download the mini ISO (beta) from [this page.][8]

官方的 Ubuntu 精简 ISO 真的“精简”吗？这是我们的测试结果
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”新推出的精简安装程序到底有多精简呢？一起来看看吧。**
|
||||
|
||||
几周前，Canonical/Ubuntu 开发者 [确认了][1] Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster 将引入官方的精简版安装程序。对于那些等待 Ubuntu Linux 官方精简安装程序的用户来说，这是个好消息，因为 Canonical/Ubuntu 此前从未对任何精简 ISO 镜像提供官方支持。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然在 Ubuntu 18.04 时期有一些非官方性质的旧版精简 ISO 镜像，但它们都已经停止维护。鉴于 Ubuntu Linux 的热门程度，这种无法获取精简安装程序的情况已阻碍部分用户的选择。
|
||||
|
||||
正如公告所言，Canonical 现在已经为 Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster 版本推出了官方精简安装程序（目前处于测试阶段），这也意味着那些希望安装轻量版本 Ubuntu Linux 用户的等待终于结束了。
|
||||
|
||||
我试运行了该 **测试版** ISO 镜像。下面是我发现的一些东西。
|
||||
|
||||
在最新的 Beta 版本中，官方的 Ubuntu 精简版 ISO 安装程序现已提供试用。“Lunar Lobster”版本的官方 ISO 镜像大小为 113 MB，这确实很小。
|
||||
|
||||
当你首次启动该精简 ISO 时，你将可以选择两个主要选项 —— 针对服务器版本和桌面版本的安装选项。目前我用于试运行的测试版精简 ISO 显示了 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 和 Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu —— 于去年发布。不过，先暂时忽略这些文本标识吧。
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 精简安装 - 第一个菜单][2]
|
||||
|
||||
我首先尝试安装桌面版本。令人惊讶的是，它运行了一个下载器，以获取用于标准桌面安装的所有软件包。精简桌面版的选项需要从互联网下载大于 3GB 的软件包，而且用时很长。考虑到我的位置与 Ubuntu 服务器状态，我的下载测试花费了大量时间。
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 精简安装程序在线下载桌面本身][3]
|
||||
|
||||
如果你将使用精简 Ubuntu ISO 安装桌面所需的时间与精力与常规下载进行比较，那精简版反而慢许多，并占用大量系统资源。举个例子，在安装程序运行时，完整的 Ubuntu 桌面版下载资源也同时存储于内存当中。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，精简版的最小 RAM 大小要求为 8GB。如果你没有 8GB RAM，你就无法运行该安装程序。而另一边，如果你借助标准的 torrent 文件下载 Ubuntu 桌面版，那么用于启动安装程序的最小 RAM 要求则为 4GB。
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 精简版 ISO 的强制性 8GB RAM 要求][4]
|
||||
|
||||
下载完成后，安装程序将启动<ruby>立付<rt>Live</rt></ruby> Ubuntu 系统，在这里，你将可以和平常一样安装带有 GNOME 桌面的 Ubuntu 桌面版。这根本没有区别。
|
||||
|
||||
来到服务器选项，我在精简安装程序里选择了 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 服务器版本。令我惊讶的是，服务器安装选项也需要至少 8GB RAM 才能开始安装。基于该版本，它下载了约 1.8GB 的软件包。之后，它启动了正常的 Ubuntu 服务器版安装程序。这与常规的服务器版安装过程也是毫无区别。
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 精简 ISO - 服务器选项只是常规的服务器安装][5]
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 精简 ISO - 服务器安装大约占用 7GB 存储][6]
|
||||
|
||||
综上可知，精简版桌面安装程序仅仅只是一个下载完整桌面版或服务器版镜像的 CLI 前端界面，别的没了。这款安装程序的主要用途可能是 Ubuntu 桌面版或服务器版的联网安装。但，再次强调，你需要稳定的网络连接，以便下载所需内容。
|
||||
|
||||
与之相似的是，Xubuntu 团队在几周前 [提供了][7] 精简版 ISO，它只包含基本的 Ubuntu，以及不含任何额外程序的原生 Xfce 桌面。
|
||||
|
||||
也就是说，这款安装程序恐怕和你从名字里所想的不太一样。如果他们能提供一款仅包含必要的 Ubuntu 组件，且不含桌面环境、Snap 等要素的“真·精简 ISO”，那会更好；就像不含任何桌面组件的原生 Arch 安装那样。
|
||||
|
||||
你可以从 [该页面][8] 下载精简 ISO（测试版）。
