That’s already a thing? It’s called Ubuntu Core and is aimed at servers for now.
They are working on a desktop edition which is what you are probably referring to - it’s a very interesting idea imho, they basically containerize the whole system, kernel and DE included. Will see how popular or useful it’ll be, but I can imagine it being used in embedded devices for example. In my understanding it’s going to be like most immutable distros, but with snaps instead of flatpaks.
Doesn’t mean they stopped pushing their own shit in places that they have no business touching. I mean:

> snap

They’re planning on making a version where everything is a snap. Performance and usability may come later, who knows.
I think it’s an interesting approach. I much prefer flatpak but can’t say I’m curious what all-snap system would be like
