Since the library's new Linux user program is focusing on Mint, I replaced 
Lubuntu on an old netbook with MATE. It works, doesn't look too bad. 
i don't know if VS Code will work but the Arduino IDE, Thonny, and gVim 
loaded with no problem. It's not a speed daemon but it wasn't with Windows 
7 either.

The real adventure was using Ventoy and the real problem was the download 
from SourceForge. That website has more clickbait download buttons than 
anything I've seen lately and finding the right one without installing 
some shit is tricky.
