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

I haven't used Ubuntu in ages but holy shit that's awful...

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
