   I, for one, will always have a soft spot in my heart for Ubuntu. IMHO It   
   has done more to further Linux desktop than any other linux distro,   
   ever. And I've used them all. Even back when Mandrake was essentially   
   Ubuntu for Redhat/rpm distros.   
      
   So shuttleworth wants to focus on servers and snaps and whatever other   
   decisions he chooses to further Canonical/Ubuntu. He's free to do that.   
   As we (users) are free to keep using Ubuntu and do what we choose on it   
   including removing snaps, etc. Or free to move to other distros.   
      
   I still use ubuntu/debian for all my home computers/servers. At work,   
   we're bound to redhat. It's all Linux and Linux is great, no matter the   
   distro. Be happy we use the best OS in existence.
