Today I removed snapd, which also removed gnome-software-plugins-snap by default. What I didn't notice is that Gnome System Monitor also was removed afterwards. On further inspection there seem to be a host of other applications that are snaps by default:

I have a PC with an Asrock B450M Steel Legend motherboard and a Ryzen 3700X CPU and I occasionally boot Ubuntu from the live DVD. Unfortunately it looks like Ubuntu is corrupting the BIOS though. After rebooting from Ubuntu the machine will hang at the POST screen and refuse to boot or enter the ...
I'm trying to set default niceness/priority for a user's processes on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS in limits.conf and everything I write in limits.conf is simply ignored. Hard nice, soft nice, hard priority, soft priority, - priority, doesn't matter it just don't work.

Manually set niceness for a ssh root login.
When I try to log in on a server that is under a high load (DDoS attack in particular) I'm facing a problem of a very low responsiveness of a command line. And I believe it is not related to a network connection problems but is related to a processor u...
When I start the terminal on Ubuntu 19.04, it just shows a blinking cursor for a few minutes. Then the terminal closes.
What is the problem and how to fix it?
I have just purchased a thinkpad and it has synaptic input device but ubuntu 18.4 does not come with synaptics touchpad driver. I am trying to implement the solution given here but running sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics leads to :

That suggested edit format this text as code, which was not formatted as code before:
Kernel update from 18.04 to 19.04 | pressed Ctrl + C in the middle of update and then reset the VPS
Now vps can not boot because: Kernel panic - not syncing
My understanding is that the post author was not saying that text appeared on a terminal.
As far as I can tell, the only part that was actually shown on the screen was "Kernel panic - not syncing" and everything else is their description of what occurred.
@damadam Does the system let you apply another edit to the same post? I would guess that it does not, because at least one (in this case, two) reviews have been submitted for the edit, but I am not sure.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't think that question is too broad, or broad at all. It's asking about specific packages, and describes a specific situation as the context for the question.
There are several ways to install 0 A.D., here are the easiest ones:

To install the latest 0 A.D. on Ubuntu, add its official PPA:

@damadam It would probably have been good for me to have commented on that post, since I now realize that the reason it qualified for deletion (as "not an answer") is not obvious. In fact, I now think there may even be some disagreement between those of us who voted to delete it about the reason for doing so.
The question asks about how to choose between Ubuntu releases and flavors based on system requirements. There are many unofficial derivatives of Ubuntu, none of which are supported here, so if we were to interpret the question as asking about all their system requirements and how to choose between them, the question would itself be off-topic.
Furthermore, if it asked about the system requirements of all Ubuntu-based systems (official or not), it would not be off-topic on a site like Unix & Linux, but it would be too broad even on such a site, because that's a huge number of systems and the question doesn't specify any specific use case. I voted to delete your answer because, although it was well-intended and the information it provided may have been useful in some other context, it was not really answering the question that was asked.
The reason I wish I had commented at the same time is that there is a misconception that we don't ever allow answers that recommend the use of a non-Ubuntu OS. We actually do allow them, though they are often very poorly received, in part because in practice such answers often don't compellingly explain why the non-Ubuntu OS is better for what the OP is doing.
(For the question you answered, there was no specific situation; it's a general question for helping people who want to use Ubuntu but are worried about system requirements choose between the flavors and releases available.)
@terdon I want to be careful about that, though. This was about an answer we deleted, not a question we closed. An answer can't really be off-topic (or on-topic), it can only fail (or succeed) to answer the question that was asked. The existing consensus is we don't prohibit answers that recommend a non-Ubuntu OS:
@terdon Yes, absolutely. That's why I voted to delete the answer. (And it is true that the question would itself have been off-topic and also too broad if it had been asking for comparison of all Ubuntu-based OSes.) I just wanted to clarify that the scope-related consideration here--and in the case of most answers--was about what the question was or wasn't asking for, not what is on-topic/off-topic for Ask Ubuntu.
It occurs to me that, while I don't think a comment always needs to accompany a delete vote/review or NAA flag, I have perhaps become complacent in this area. The information the UI shows the owner of a deleted answer is extremely general; it would not have been reasonable for me to think that it addressed this issue, especially given the nuances it involved.
