@clacke You probably already have an answer, but this isn't the first thing #Canonical / #Ubuntu has locked into the Snap ecosystem. Chromium and Firefox have been there for years. I think #LinuxMint has already been maintaining its own .deb packaging for the browsers.
I think it’s important to remember that if you’re using the excuse that your software project should not be held to account for being inaccessible because it is released under a free software license what you’re really saying is that disabled people are not welcome in the free software world.
@nah@fvsch@sonny@matt But here’s the thing: Wayland would never have been made the default if, say, fonts didn’t render correctly. Not having a functional screen reader is as big an issue for people who rely on screen readers. So at some point, someone at Canonical decided that it didn’t matter that people who use screen readers would be excluded. And so they should be ashamed.
> C’est en effet le 5 mars 2004 que Mark Shuttleworth lance (et finance) la société #Canonical, la société derrière #Ubuntu. Mark #Shuttleworth connait bien le monde Linux puisqu’il était un développeur de #Debian dans le milieu des années 90, c’est-à-dire au début de la distribution.

Merci à toutes les contributrices et contributeurs de Ubuntu et de Debian. Ma vie a changé grâce à eux :blobheart:
An immutable all-Snap Ubuntu planned for 2024 :ubuntu:
Well then - Ubuntu Linux will be ousting something unique - apart from what some might say "thousands of other Linux distros are offering" :thinkhappy:
Where to use an immutable Ubuntu? -- Academic use cases, large enterprises and such are where an immutable desktop thrives.
Better security, reliability (read-only file system), transactional updates & a very important factor: EASY ROLLBACK of changes if problems occur on updating.
Did you know? SteamOS partly utilizes the immutable approach already.
#Canonical has been imperative to the growth and simplification of Linux "for human beings". There's no doubt the whole community has a lot to thank them for! The first time I tried Linux for real was with #Ubuntu 6.06. I've never learned to code or really use the terminal to any degree, but I've stayed on Linux ever since. And it's just gotten better, much thanks to Canonical.
