I have also installed Ubuntu Mate 20 on my two HP Elitebook workstation laptops
since I cannot stand the stock Ubuntu GUI...

These are normally running 24/7 as more server like devices, but I have
installed TigerVNC so I can get to the desktops that way.

Questions:

1) Why is snap needed?
I really do not understand that part of recent Ubuntus. What is it for?

2) How come the kernel is old on Ubuntu Mint?


And how did you do the above?
