The snap thing makes me want to switch distro (for work) from ubuntu. Unfortunately we have some benefits from using ubuntu as the common platform for less divergence from each other

Pop!_OS is a solid Ubuntu-based distro that uses Flatpak in place of Snap (among many other great decisions).

> The issue that makes us resist the idea of simply disabling updates altogether is that very often that will mean never update rather than update at someone’s discretion, and then we’re getting back to some of the problems that got us here in the first place.

I’m sorry, who owns the machine here?

I love Ubuntu, it's been my daily driver for over a decade now but if they continue with going against the community on this nonsense this will be a strong indication for people like me that an era has come to an end and it's time to move on.

It used to be a community focused distro. This bs feels outright user-hostile.
