Yes, this is with the 18.10 final release. I'm unable to provide confirmation/diagnostics as the behavior is worse than with 18.04/04.1. With persistence enabled I can sometimes initially get to a desktop which has a moving mouse pointer but is unresponsive. It will at some point black-screen wit

I see that this but report is "incomplete". In case it's waiting on the snap version it's 2.32.5. Since I still don't really know what it is or how to use it, I have to presume there have been no changes. (I find lots of docs on the interwebs but nothing so far that takes me back to the basics..

I've verified that this can be reproduced when booted from a flash drive. As above: extract the 18.04 ISO to a FAT32 drive. UEFI boot it. Create a persistence file and a persistence boot stanza. Boot that. snapd and Xorg will use lots of CPU. Perhaps not as consistently or as high as when booted
