Hello Robie and the Technical board,

First of all the documentation looks neat and detail .

I have a small question, regarding default apps being enabled or snaps
being installed by default as they are dfsg-free

/me putting on my user hat now than a developer :)

On the other hand, will an user have choices on what to install by default
on his system whether it might be apps or drivers as sometimes as an user
an alternative to a driver or an app would work fine for me.

Or will the installer and software center choose the best ones to enable
and install as per the system environment?

Regards,
Bhavi
