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?

Snap absolutely matters in server deployments FYI. Its advantages are pretty clear in that space, and arguably more suited to it.
