I feel like this is well named (run as user 0) so then I’m wondering what else you dislike and what you think would be improvements?

What about a lightweight variant like Lubuntu or Xubuntu? 4Gb should be usable for a lot of things.
We can’t imagine anything but unfettered capitalism, so onward we go to our own destruction!
But our ignorant misconceptions are ubiquitous so they have become truth!
What problems with AMD Ryzen? I’ve been happy with them, except one that had excessive power drain on suspend.
My guess at the stance is I’d imagine it’s that switching away from snaps is switching away from Ubuntu’s support and security monitoring and updates to some less known/reliable/diligent third party?
Popey (Alan Pope) used to work for Canonical / Ubuntu, so he’s presumably not inclined to jump on the bandwagon of Canonical/Ubuntu/snap hate since he knows a lot of Canonical and Ubuntu people and their motivations and work. Not that there aren’t good reasons to criticize snap or other Canonical decisions, but it’s also plain that a lot of people just join a hate bandwagon and don’t even know what about it they object to. There is masses of wrong-headed criticism of Canonical out there e.g. I’ve frequently seen people criticize creating Upstart, saying Canonical should have used systemd, or bzr vs git! Presumably these people were annoyed at Canonical for not inventing a time machine.
Shush! Lennart might hear you!
Well lvm makes a shit filesystem and btrfs is useless at volume management.
That was the point they were making. GitHub is to git as the snap store is to snap, albeit there are existing alternatives to GitHub.
Conversely I’d find taking my hands from the keyboard to change workspaces for instance to be clunky and awkward. That’s why I use keyboard first, TrackPoint second, trackpad or mouse distant third.
None I’ve ever used have been. I have a card I dropped in working right now on a 2 yr old Thinkpad.
Just throw in a $20 Intel Wi-Fi card if necessary, and don’t buy the first models of the latest CPU, as with any manufacturer, and Thinkpads are some of the another for Linux.
…I was almost tempted to answer it literally (geographically)
the documentation is very inconsistent and usually poor.
So many excellent projects are crippled by having little but reference docs and scant, over abstracted descriptions.
VS Code(ium) doesn’t work for you instead?
Really? I disliked Perl for 3 decades on unix and Linux and I’ve never felt like I have been held back by not knowing or using it. I don’t remember the last time I saw a Perl script, let alone needed to understand one.
Yes - videos. I don’t recall latency problems since many years ago with some cheapo external speakers. FWIW I just tried a latency test on Youtube to check (currently on Shokz) and it seemed good. Frankly I have no idea if some low latency tech is being automatically used but I certainly didn’t take any steps to ensure it was (Ubuntu, these days using Pipewire).
How common is it that they don’t have that? because it’s a long time since I had latency issues in years of Bluetooth headphones. Anker, Phillips, Sennheiser, Shokz, all sub $100 headphones and I haven’t had latency.

Same. I’m a little embarrassed that I have little idea what it’s like. Last one I used daily was Windows 7. But then I wonder
What are these things I’m missing?
