   how to calculate/establish new sizes for root and home due to this different   
   snap management in newer ubuntu releases; well in other words I mean I'd like   
   to establish good "   
   balanced" sizes not to make them loo large though I've got about 540GB free   
   disk space in sda6 I could work on. Finally consider I don't think I'll   
   install new sw.

   Now, that kit should not be freezing, for a start.   
   That is not an old system.   
      
   You should not be "trapped" with a 4.18 kernel.   
      
   If you thought it was memory, you could run memtest, which is   
   sometimes listed in a GRUB menu as an option.   
      
   This is one of my Linux disks, one used for test installs.

   So far, I'm not spotting a lot of bloat.   
      
   U23.10 total size 21GB (includes my home which is in the partition).   
      
   U20.04 total size 16GB   
      
   These numbers are meaningless of course.   
      
   Make a backup before you start, and away you go.
