Ubuntu has a few offline games out-of-the-box. Now, the developer team is going to remove them from the installer in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.<\/b><\/p>\n

Since Ubuntu 23.10, Ubuntu Desktop no longer provides ‘Minimal installation<\/code>‘ option in the installer. Instead, it’s “re-named” to “Default installation<\/code>” with just the essentials, web browser and basic utilities. User can choose “Full installation<\/code>” option for the office, media player, games, and other app packages that’s previously installed by default in old Ubuntu releases.<\/p>\n

Just a few days ago, the desktop team proposed to remove the games from full installation<\/code>, then made the decision with wider support.<\/p>\n
