How Many Gigabytes Is Ubuntu?
Contents

The required disk space for an out-of-the-box Ubuntu installation is said to be 15 GB. However, that does not take into account the space needed for a file-system or a swap partition. It is more realistic to give yourself a little bit more than 15 GB of space.

How many GB do I need for Ubuntu?

According to the Ubuntu documentation, a minimum of 2 GB of disk space is required for a full Ubuntu installation, and more space to store any files you may subsequently create.

Is 20 GB enough for Ubuntu?

If you plan on running the Ubuntu Desktop, you must have at least 10GB of disk space. 25GB is recommended, but 10GB is the minimum.
