Canonical announced some time ago their Steam Snap which was promoted as stable with Ubuntu 23.04, as they continue to push their own packaging format with Snap but it seems this has been causing problems for Valve.
I left when they moved my window buttons (close, minimize, etc) to the left side for no good reason (back on 10.4 I think), and I felt validated when they introduced, screwed up, and later removed upstart and mir (mir still exists, but it’s a Wayland compositor, not a Wayland competitor).
Ubuntu has a long track record for trying new things, making them default, and then backpedaling when it doesn’t work out. There really aren’t many things they’ve produced that anyone else actually uses. Snap is just another one of those projects.
