2023-02-03	Ubuntu

  So, I got my  hands a new old-laptop - a very slim  Vaio from 2013 -
  and got the crazy idea to run vanilla Ubuntu on it. Yes, that Ubuntu
  with  the Gnome-Desktop  and  the forced  snaps. Up  to  now I  used
  MX-Linux  with i3  as the  window  manager. But  since I'm  nowadays
  mostly  living in  Emacs I  think I  don't really  need a  tiling WM
  anymore.

  I always want to stay open-minded so I gave Ubuntu 22.04 a try and I
  have to say my first impression was really good. It looks and sounds
  fantastic!  I  know there  is  much  e-drama  about the  whole  snap
  situation but I wanted to try  it myself not mindlessly adopting the
  viewpoint of  some rando from  the internet.  Now I use  Firefox and
  Emacs28 as snap-packages and so far no problems at all.

  There are some minor annoyances here  and there but most of it stems
  from my unfamiliarity with this  whole Gnome-way of doing things. It
  really is kinda nice to have functioning, beautiful GNU/Linux system
  out-of-the-box. I think I keep it for now.
