In some ways it's improved slightly, they gave up on Mir and Unity and now run a lightly modified GNOME on Wayland. However, they now insist on Snaps so much that they'll install Snaps through apt and have replaced a number of packages this way. Its an incredibly stupid move, and unlike Flatpaks the backend isn't open and it only supports Canonical's own "app store" as a package source.

> they gave up on Mir and Unity and now run a lightly modified GNOME on Wayland. With Extensions Manager, you can disable all of the system extensions, install the User Themes extension and GNOME Tweaks, and in Tweaks, set every setting that is set to Yaru-* to Adwaita/Default, and you should get yourself a stock GNOME Shell. Except for the Ubuntu Font, of course. (I'll never forget the time I ran GNOME and KDE at once and created KNOME. Lots of my friends got angry and claimed I "took KDE with my greasy GTK fingers." The horror.)
