Nuxt Installation Template Selection Feels Blind

It looks like the Nuxt installation flow has changed, and I’m not a fan of making blind selections.

Which template would you like to use?

│  ○ content – Content-driven website
│  ● minimal – Minimal setup for Nuxt 4 (recommended)
│  ○ module – Nuxt module
│  ○ ui – App using Nuxt UI

The options don’t make it clear what will or won’t be included in each template. I prefer starting with a blank project, but even when selecting “module – Nuxt module”, it installs several things I don’t need. The previous manual setup was much clearer.
