    Jon Seager as the VP of Engineering at Canonical

    Seager explained in this morning’s update while there won’t be a “global kill switch” for AI features on Ubuntu, their plan is to deliver all the AI features via Snap packages. So removing AI features on Ubuntu will come down to removing Snaps.

    lmao

    At this point if snaps are being installed on your system you might want to have a talk with the admin/IT guy, unless you are the admin in which case you do you🤷‍♀️. Carry on good sir/lady/person.

    The AI bros on the other hand are probably drooling all over this as AI and Ubuntu basically goes hand in hand.

    On Linux I don’t really care who “wins” or loses" as we just have options.

    The only 2 things I personally care about is which of the options have the most consistent and trustworthy developer, and which one is licensed or closest to being licensed under AGPL-3.0.

    “Which xyz is better?” is the last of my concerns as my disgust for “proprietary”, AI-product/service, and NVIDIA knows no bounds.

    All that being said;
    I’m glad people love Flatpaks, app images still exist, and that people dump snaps like it’s the plague.

    As much as I’d like the marketshare to be 11% I’m quite skeptical of this counting.

    Until StatCounter can provide details on how the heck they’re determining the percentages I’d personally recommend against using their stats.

    Currently for now I’d recommend using Steam/Valve’s user percentage counter as their breakdown provides more clarity.
