   Ubuntu Studio

   To do some experimenting, I slicked my 2012 Asus laptop and   
   installed Ubuntu Studio. I burned the ubuntu-studio ISO to a thumb   
   drive and booted to it.   
      
   It failed, reason unknown, though there was a command to get a   
   log. I think it was an issue with dd'ing the ISO. The "Install"   
   icon on the desktop wouldn't work. I tried running the command in   
   a console window, and it commenced, but ultimately failed. For   
   some reason it did not find an EFI partition, is what I think.   
      
   Tried again with a different spare USB drive, decided not to save   
   the /home partition, and things went a lot better. Interestingly,   
   the GUI was in dark mode the second time.   
      
   KDE Plasma looks pretty good. I'm going to keep it instead of   
   fluxbox, because I won't be using this box a lot, at first, except   
   through SSH, so the clumsiness of a ginormous desktop is not such   
   an issue.   
      
   One odd issue is the screen locking freezes an SSH session.   
   Unlock and it's fine. I think I found the session setting to stop   
   this, but it's a surprise to me that session lock included   
   blocking SSH.
