Hi, I think my next distribution for all my work will be even debian. Because there are no needs for snap or flatpak. My other PC with debian 11 works now for years with soundstudio - without aany problems.I think I will also convert my current and last Xubuntu PC to debian. With debian deb-packages can be installed as usual without all the big problems that snap and flatpack bring with them.Such limitations as Ubuntu currently has in my daily work are really not very usefull I gave up Windows years ago because I didn't find any restrictions in Linux for a long time, But I have the impression that Ubuntu is starting to become more and more commercialized and wants to do its own thing.This is not a good development for Linux. But it is only my opinion. bye hans ********************************* Am Montag, den 05.09.2022, 10:02 +0200 schrieb Ralf Mardorf: > > On 5.
