    Until it’s wings “Snaps”.

    Ubuntu does so much good, this is one thing I wish they would abandon.

    Or at minimum, not have it as the default option.

      Even without Snaps, Ubuntu isn’t good anymore.
      It’s buggy as hell, and never manages to do a release upgrade without breaking.

      And every time you do an apt update, it fucking tells you that there are more updates available if you upgrade to Ubuntu Pro.

          It’s not completely free.
          You pay with your telemetry data and your email address.
