i've installed lubuntu, and choose minimal installation. whats irritated me: 1. installing gparted, i need to download almost 500MBs. 2. purging libgphoto2 and gphoto2, also purging lubuntu desktop, and what shocked, i lost X too. 3. upgrade, also creating lots of garbage, and error notifications. this problem arise before. although in early stage, eg. 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 🤷♂️
