I've already started another thread to discuss this realization and a way to prevent this from happening again.

Would you edit this post and provide the link to the thread?

so if i went brtfs the default could be (on MBR partitioning, no "secure" boot):
/
/swap (2GB at least)

or does it need a separate home.

it seem i really need to read up more on it.

also i am not sure i would need the Neon edition. but you never know. i used to have PPA added for latest Plasma on 12.04 and that worked rather well.

primarily i need something that is stable and needs the least amount of time messing with it. the winXP should be a dead giveaway :-). but seriously, when i was younger i had the time to mess around with PC and OS and settings and such, but i didn't really have a PC, now i have the PC, but no time. the irony. but i many years, when i retire, i will have both. until then, i really appreciate something that works and doesn't need me to trouble shoot it constantly. which is why snapshots would be beneficial, to be able to just revert to previous state until i have time to fix it properly.

i now did a test with 16.04.1 32 bit (i though the DVD i had recorded some time ago was 64bit Mostly it was OK, but i did hit a few strange things particularly in the high CPU usage after install: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...626#post407626
