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 UIThe 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.
