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.

In Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak), users will be able to select and use the Unity 8 session directly from the login screen, without the need to follow a complicated tutorial and end up run multiple commands in a Terminal to install various packages and do all sort of weird tricks, just like you can now use desktops like KDE, MATE, or GNOME.
