Oh wait, they removed that? I had no idea because I stopped using Ubuntu when they put ads in the dash.
Doesn't mean they stopped pushing their own shit in places that they have no business touching. I mean:
>
apt install firefox> look inside
> snap
And then there's Ubuntu Pro. https://feddit.org/comment/2001630
(edit) I just realized that I could've expressed the first point using proper English, but my idiot brain immediately chose memes. I think I'm beyond help.
They're planning on making a version where everything is a snap. Performance and usability may come later, who knows.
I think it's an interesting approach. I much prefer flatpak but can't say I'm curious what all-snap system would be like
That's already a thing? It's called Ubuntu Core and is aimed at servers for now.
They are working on a desktop edition which is what you are probably referring to - it's a very interesting idea imho, they basically containerize the whole system, kernel and DE included. Will see how popular or useful it'll be, but I can imagine it being used in embedded devices for example. In my understanding it's going to be like most immutable distros, but with snaps instead of flatpaks.
