<p>[on server] Except LXD with newer version that also runs VMs was
snappy, needing undated and snappy ZFS version, if I am not
mistaken, and that was ... unusual, but following standard on
Ubuntu ...., that we've just replaced with Debian Trixie under our
webconference.kwlug.org instance.</p>

Ah, didn't even cross my mind. I dropped Ubuntu for Fedora
just before <br>
the snap era - when they were doing buggy GTK+ patches that
caused weird <br>
issues and forging ahead with Unity.<br>
<br>
Yeah, maybe Mint is the way to go -- Ubuntu minus snaps,
even if there's <br>
a whole extra step in the chain.</blockquote>
