#2Interestingly, Ubuntu MATE lead at [1] saying it wasn't so much "agreeing" as it was complying with the requested change, for both them and Xubuntu.

#3Outrageous.
I don't know why they'd follow Ubuntu, as long as the Canonical philosophy exists in this space, Linux will never grow an inch.
I'm thankful to canonical for bringing Ubuntu where it is today but let's be honest, they've constantly been making weird decisions.
Please stop and go take a look at ZorinOS, that's what a mainstream distro should look like!

Literally the first line of the article says they are official Ubuntu flavors:
>Flatpak will no longer be available “out-of-the-box” in any of Ubuntu’s official flavors.

#5After using Ubuntu for 15 years, I moved to Pop!_Os (it uses Flatpak and no snap crap). Have been very happy with it.

#6A few days ago I wanted to update an Ubuntu laptop that hasn't been turned on for over a year. I had steam and brave browser installed using snap. Updating these two took as much time as updating everything else in the system (1.6Gb of downloads). Then I uninstalled brave, which took about 6-8 minutes. The laptop has NixOS today.
NixOS has official GUI installer now https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-iso

Ubuntu ~always (around 12 years ago) try's to make a proprietary wallet-garden, and fail every single time.
It's ridiculous and the complete wrong way to survive in the the Opensource space. The only thing they have at that point is the name Ubuntu.

#8This made me even more happy to have moved to Debian 11 after 14 years of Ubuntu. Snap made me sick, then this. Not that I ever used Flatpack, apt and docker are good enough, but this is too much.

Official flavor does not mean that canonical is having a separate special team for them. Official distros also include Ubuntu Unity and other community maintained distros.
