Ubuntu Core Desktop will not be released alongside Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in April, as originally hoped.
Canonical doesn’t go into details about what specific issues need resolving. One imagines, given that the first Ubuntu Core Desktop release was going to be a preview and not a recommended download, it’s a myriad bugs/difficulties — ones not easily sorted.

“Canonical announced it was building an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop.”
I don’t like the sound of this.
I can only imagine what a call to ‘mount’ is going to look like.
There might be a delay
Sounds exactly like the Snap version of Fedora Silverblue. Which is actually pretty great.
If only snap packages weren’t utter garbage and the authors actually tested them before pushing them out.
“Test it in production.”
Ah yes, the Microsoft way.
Yeah, it sounds like the desktop version of an Iphone.
I don’t believe iOS and Android use immutable filesystems to the extent some Linux distros do, like openSuse Aeon, Fedora Silverblue, Nixos, etc. iOS and Android just make it more difficult to gain root access.
They do. By default the system partition is straight up mounted read-only.
Can someone suggest a community for linux noob like me? Installed U-Mate yesterday. I may need an active community specifically created for new users.
The only reason I’m still using Canonical’s bullshit after they tried to kill Unity, tried to force Snap on me and put ads in the shell is because of Rudra Saraswat. His Ubuntu Unity flavor is really good once you remove snapd.
I guess I have a little while longer to migrate all my servers to a new OS.
Edit: oh this is for home users. Well, it’s only a matter of time before this is rolled out to Ubuntu Server.
Fuck Canonical anyway.
Canonical still does more for the Linux desktop than most of us ever have or ever will
Agreed.
Neverless, fuck Canonical.
It was nice while it lasted. Moved to MX.
Now you’ve borned so much executable type. Why can’t you release the source code of the software to “make sure there isn’t malware” and pledge and unveil it.
