I bet a ton of it is Nvidia and AMD junk.
Linux shipping all drivers by default is a problem
There is always Gentoo stage1 /j
Debian net installer is 700mb, still fits on CD-R and with a DE selection and base tools during setup, it’s still about 2gb installed as a fully functional system requiring very little to get gaming. Seems fine to me. This post is an Ubuntu problem.

Not really. Fedora is significantly smaller and it ships everything but Nvidia
Yes for sure drivers are not the cause of that problem. But its still basically an extreme violation of the unix philosophy
