The Register conducted testing on memory and disk consumption after installing various desktop editions of Ubuntu 21.04 in a VirtualBox virtual machine. The test included Ubuntu with GNOME 42, Kubuntu with KDE 5.24.4, Lubuntu with LXQt 0.17, Ubuntu Budgie with Budgie 10.6.1, Ubuntu MATE with MATE 1.26, and Xubuntu with Xfce 4.16. <\/p>\n
The easiest distribution turned out to be Lubuntu, with a memory consumption of 357 MB after launching the desktop, and disk space usage of 7.3 GB after installation. The highest memory consumption was shown by the standard version of Ubuntu with GNOME (710 MB), while the largest disk space usage was from Kubuntu (11 GB). However, in terms of memory consumption, Kubuntu showed quite good results at 584 MB, falling behind only Lubuntu (357 MB) and Xubuntu (479 MB), but ahead of Ubuntu (710 MB), Ubuntu Budgie (657 MB), and Ubuntu MATE (591 MB).
For comparison, similar testing of Ubuntu 13.04 editions conducted in 2013 yielded the following results:
