They want Ubuntu users to use snap, which unsurprisingly isn't very popular.

One of the main arguments for picking Ubuntu over Debian was the installation process, but Debian made the installation process much easier, by allowing non-free firmware.

Ubuntu got worse, and Debian got better, anyone unhappy with Ubuntu should just switch to Debian with Gnome and the problem is largely solved.

but on the other hand, this is completely unnecessary.

Everyone should have the freedom to be the architect of their own fortune or misfortune.

I don't pretend to know why they do it, but as long as everyone is doing it willingly and know the risk, I don't have a problem with it.

xnor, the result has to be false.

The developer properly prefers how the desktop looks without icons, I also never use icons on the desktop, I think it makes it look messy.

That said, I understand why many want icons on the desktop.
