@mcc Yeah, I'm cautious about using the latest OS if I have a choice. I'll probably wait for 24.04.2 before I upgrade Ubuntu on my primary machine (and will do a clean install).
Also yeah re screen resolution stuff, not ideal (though I mostly use the machine in clamshell mode with big external monitor).
I like/hate Snaps and Flatpacks and even .deb but wish the ecosystem would settle on something and stick with it.
If you ever have to use the command line, an OS is not for "regular" folks.
@dangillmor @mcc Yeah the Linux community knows that, and always hand-wave it away (afaict.) I run Fedora (with Gnome+Wayland) on a somewhat older ThinkPad X1 and it DOES NOT have the same problems you're listing here. I really think your problem is either Ubuntu or Snap.
