It is a nice machine :) This one was signed by David Hill, so it's a
real treasure :)

I can try to dig up the info you requested, but first I have to state
that I don't even know what snapd is :(  I can say that "apt purge snapd
ubuntu-core-launcher squashfs-tools" made it stop eating my CPU.

It's an easy thing to set up, but might require a 2nd drive.  Primary
drive in an NVMe SSD with Lenovo's Win 10 preload on it.  Secondary
drive is a SATA SSD in the WWAN slot. One FAT32 partition, one NTFS.

I put Ubuntu as a live "install" in the FAT32 partition for a couple of
reasons - which may be off-base.  1st, it's intended as
backup/fallback/recovery tool if the primary drive fails.  Since an
_installed_ Ubuntu wants to add its boot stuff to the EFI partition on
the primary, that wouldn't be much of a fall-back if primary fails.  The
live install can boot directly from the T's boot menu w/out needing the
primary drive.  The other reason is that when it's in a FAT32 partition
it can be manipulated from Windows and v/v without having to add any
additional fs tools, and no additional partitions are required. I also
use the grub in the FAT32 partition to boot things like memtest,
Acronis, and some other stuff.  It ends up looking like one of my
"Swill-army" flash drives.  Backup is also facilitated.

Back to how to set up: I just copy the contents of the Ubuntu ISO to the
FAT32 partition.  Then create a persistence file and edit grub.conf to
allow the option of persistence or not.  I've got an old writeup on how
I make my flash drives.  The process is the same, but _installing_ grub
isn't required since it's a UEFI-only setup:

I'm happy to dig for details if that will help - but will probably need
some guidance.

Thanks!
