Jon Seager as the VP of Engineering at Canonical

Seager explained in this morning's update while there won't be a "global kill switch" for AI features on Ubuntu, their plan is to deliver all the AI features via Snap packages. So removing AI features on Ubuntu will come down to removing Snaps.

lmao

At this point if snaps are being installed on your system you might want to have a talk with the admin/IT guy, unless you are the admin in which case you do you🤷‍♀️. Carry on good sir/lady/person.

The AI bros on the other hand are probably drooling all over this as AI and Ubuntu basically goes hand in hand.

Well I need a distro that has documented active directory support to connect to the existing servers. Tried OpenSUSE which had problems just installing let alone running, so Ubuntu is really all there is left. Linux at work is just not as fully featured as Windows unfortunately. Local group policy servers are so useful.
