   Simple twist of fate: a couple of isos failed for whatever reason and the   
   Ubuntu one worked on the Beelink SER4. I was sick of screwing around so   
   Ubuntu it was.   
      
   I still don't like it but it doesn't get in my way too often. Yesterday   
   was an exception. I was playing around with geopandas. Assuming nybb is a   
   set of shapefiles   
      
   nybb.explore().show_in_browser()   
      
   uses folium to export a file like folium_5a0tbao5.html  to /tmp and open   
   it in the default browser. My default browser is Brave which is a snap.   
      
   snaps are sandboxed and /tmp ain't in their allowed sandbox. folium is   
   buried someplace in geopandas so good luck getting it to write to   
   someplace in the sandbox.   
      
   Also every damn snap is a mount. I'll run the Ubuntu box until it dies but   
   I think OpenSUSE is next up.
