What distro are you running?

Ubuntu since 2008, but Mate or Xubuntu, if I could use 500 MB more memory.
Desktop Ryzen 3 2200G (16 GB): Ubuntu 19.04 minimal install
Laptop i5 2520M (8 GB): Ubuntu Mate 19.10
Both boot and run from ZFS and both run the exactly same Virtualbox Virtual Machines:

  • Xubuntu 18.04.3: Office work, Torrents, WhatsApp, Email
  • Ubuntu 16.04.6: Banking & Paypal exclusively!
  • Windows XP Home: Music with Wow and TrueBass Effects
  • Ubuntu Mate 19.04: Experiments
  • Windows 10: Dutch TV Viewer (Windows only)
