Ubuntu developers have teased an “ultra-minimal” version of Ubuntu, named as “Ubuntu Budgie” as we told earlier that only utilizes 220MB or less of RAM. And not only that even 220 MB relates to 64-bit distribution, 32-bit version can pass with less than 200 MB RAM. However, currently, we don’t have much details about this new ultra-minimal distro, except a screenshot which is not showing any common applications like Google Chrome, GIMP, or LibreOffice like utility tools.
