Isn’t base Ubuntu losing marketshare?
I know it’s not comprehensive, but the Steam survey shows Mint skyrocketing and Ubuntu dropping like a rock. And I feel like Snap doesn’t matter in server deployments or business machines. So… who’s this for?
The more important metric to Canonical however is corporate / paying customer marketshare - I am guessing it hasn’t suffered too much otherwise they would have backed down on some of their decisions regarding snaps.
