The Ubuntu Online Summit 2016 for Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) has ended, and we told you already that Unity 8 and Snaps are the future for the popular operating system.

When asked by a user who would like to see Unity 8 on Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) what is the Canonical's priority on the upcoming Unity 8 desktop environment, Mark Shuttleworth answered by saying that the Unity 8 interface will be installed by default in Ubuntu 16.10, something that we already knew.
