This news shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Ubuntu is just doing what they've been doing all along, and that is trying to push they're snap packages.
As long as distros give people the option/ability to install in other ways I don't see a problem. Now if Ubuntu out right banned any other way to install apps that would be big news.
Yeah, I don't see much wrong with it as long as it works as well as any other installation option and stays maintained.
Interesting thought about banning other installation methods. I can't think of how they'd actually do any of that besides going fully immutable. ๐ค
