No, I haven't. Is there such an option in the Ubuntu LiveCD's? I've not seen that option...
but will look again.
I tried to learn more Linux w/ Ubuntu Server 20.04, but I'll ask about that later. I ended
up installing a GUI, initially the "core" and things wouldn't work right (couldn't log out)
and on reinstall (to a bigger hdd) I just apt installed "kubuntu-desktop" (if mem serves).
It's everything. Huge. But then I could logout/shutdown w/o issue.
I considered Manjaro per a blog post stating that Manjaro comes w/ less pre-installed
and then you add what your want vs. Ubuntu's here's everything and one has to remove
what they don't want, but my first attempt, years ago, wouldn't boot after install.
Furthermore, I'd like something more stable... non-rolling, maybe?
It might be a non-issue, but VirtualBox VM's can grow, but never shrink.

Tis why I asked! Appreciate this list. I found a couple "best lightweight Linux in 2020" type blog posts, but wanted another perspective.
TYVM.
