I hope to fix the issue where the UI in the input method configuration interface is too close to the edge.
Additionally, Chinese input methods could be further enhanced. For example, the Wubi input method should support mixed input with Pinyin, which is already well done on macOS and Windows.
Many users have been waiting for this for a long time, not because of a lack of packages or applications, but because there are more possibilities, more ease of use, and although we like Snaps, which is my case; I also use Flatpak and I like that my system and the store don’t make me go and install another store to have what I should have in my system’s native store. I love Ubuntu and this is gratifying for me.
Does this means that also Synaptic would no longer be needed to use as graphical frontend to install packages? Because this is something I have been dreaming. 
Not that there’s anything wrong on Synaptic. 
The available graphical frontend for .deb, snaps and flatpak is currently gnome-software.
Synaptic can’t manage flatpak.
Ah! I was probably not clear enough! My bad! What I meant, that I would wish that at some point all packages (including those that are not available through App Center, for example system packages) be operable through one single app.

6 posts were split to a new topic: Off-Topic discussions moved from 26.04 Roadmap
I honestly don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Please keep the posts on-topic and that means only discuss the topics that are out-lined in the original post as being the roadmap for 26.04.
Many thanks to everyone participating in this discussion and for understanding about staying on topic and if you need to speak to a moderator please do so via a private message and not in this topic.
The other off-topic posts have been moved to the lounge if someone feels the need to discuss something off-topic please start a topic in the lounge and you can link to this one if you feel the need just do not post the off-topic discussion here.
Thanks again
software-properties: This program does not make sense if the system automatically updates in the background, as it confuses the user.
I hope the system developers fix this problem, which has been present in all versions of Ubuntu.

The system updates automatically in the background ONLY for security fixes and ONLY if set by the user in software-properties
The correct order for operations is that the program should not immediately search for updates. It should first check the background operations and then leave the option to activate the search button so that there is no conflict.
I don’t know if you noticed but snap apps are automatically updated by default/OOTB. And that’s not set by the user at all, at least i never changed anything. 
Wow I’m late to the party really love this roadmap. What I love the most is the talks about a " Unified Software Management" this would be amazing. Would this work like how gnomes software center handles all updates on fedora? Glad to see Ubuntu sticking to snaps and improving i’ve always been a snap user!
Is it possible to know the packages after installing them on the system, along with their version numbers and added features?
Along the lines of what Albaraa (@albari54) has asked, is there any way that App Center will eventually offer the option to generate a text file that will specify, in logical install order, the list of
so that it could be used as the governing input to a “clone build” on a replacement/upgraded computer?
Windows versions XP, 7, 10, and 11 had two popular versions, the first being the home version and the second being the professional version. Why not use this method with Ubuntu?
Home: Intended only for browsing and simple office use without command lines.
Professional: Intended for professionals who like to use terminals and extended services.
If only the professional version (likely at cost) has access to the Command Line capabilities, you have morphed Linux into Windows, because you have “caged” the User, taking away the liberation that Linux introduced by having that capability for all.
I vote strongly against any such thinking, let alone any such implementation.
A better approach is to have only one Application, which lists all Apps, line by line, preceded by a checkbox for selecting install/removal/purge, and showing for each,
That Application would have 3 display modes:
display only End-User Apps (geared to User’s own files and Desktop Admin),
display only Server Apps (geared to offering server-based services, managing such services, managing the facilities local and remote, monitoring/profiling/shaping/restricting networking facilities or capabilities, replicating distro installs, etc.), or or
displaying ALL Apps, without applying either of the above-two role-based list filters.
