[GTALUG] Ubuntu 20.04.2 is groaning

[Chris Aitken]

Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with my Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS system. Takes me 
5+ seconds just to enter commands, switch between apps, etc.

df reveals I have lots of space except what is dedicated to snap. I 
don't even know what snap is. Do I need snap. Whenever updates are 
offered I just accept them all, because I don't know the ramifications 
of refusing them. So, I may have accepted snap at some point.
