I use Ubuntu for work and have no issues with it to be honest. I install everything via apt, I think a few things are via snap but nothing that I’ve installed directly. It’s stable and I can get on with stuff. I definitely am not a fan of the move towards snap and the app store: if I was to choose I’d go vanilla Debian.
Yeah looks like most shared basements in my city. Every apartment has a private lock up like you can see on the right hand side in the image with the number 6 on it.
