   Because of my personal objection to systemd, I am in the (slow) process of   
   moving from Ubuntu to mxlinux.   
   So far have moved a couple of laptops.   
   As a side benefit -- without systemd, there are no snaps, OOTB.   
   Also there is a useful snapshot built-in, memories of Remastersys, which I   
   used for a few years.   
   Just one data point.
