    That’s extremely unexpected.

      The GNU utils weren’t written by Canonical so they were doomed from the start.

        Not to worry, they’ll ship 'em via snap.

              Lol, I don’t hate snap, I also don’t need a sandboxed ls with a 30s startup time.

          More likely they will make them dependent on snap so you can’t remove snap without breaking the system.

            Unity was great, though. Ubuntu took a hit going back to customized gnome

            Unity at least didn’t break anything, and you still had a choice in choosing desktop environment.
