Good grief talk about silliness. Not only insulting to the user base, but what a slick willy way of explaining why... Whenever GUI integration is deprecated or removed nowadays, it is because (and in this case clearly true) of the ongoing churn with Wayland implementation. Whatever marketing whiz came up with this classic explanation (protect dumb users from themselves) i/e basically put the blame for a feature loss on the user is a real ass.
"Ubuntu 26.04 won't ship with the Software & Updates application pre-installed. This is the graphical tool for managing repositories, PPAs, and update settings that is being removed from default desktop builds.
Why? Canonical says some features are too dangerous for regular users. Accidentally disabling the main repository through the GUI breaks system updates and software installation. Enabling proposed or source repositories without understanding them is risky too."
