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.

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.
