in case anybody cares, see the last paragraph below (but feel
encouraged to ignore it...). Focusing on the problem at hand...

sorry, my fault here. That is not what I did. What I meant is that
I did a complete install of 22.04, erasing the old installation, but
without formatting or otherwise touching /home. If doing this messed
up things, it would be a bug in the installer, not on my side, right?

Apart from this: is there an easy way to just load the full profile
that was working perfectly until 5 hours ago, without testing left and
right?

Thanks,

About snap: First, it is beyond idiotic, and arrogant too, to clutter
home directories by creating normal folder or files for package
configuration data in plain sight, instead of hidden ones as any
decent project has done since the 1970s. Why "$HOME/snap" and not
"$HOME/.snap" is beyond me, really. If every development team had had
the same attitude, we could not find our own files among emacsrc,
config, kde and scores of other ones

Second, everything I just wrote, times ten about the fact that AFAICT
there is no way to change this setting, i.e. there is nothing like
SNAPHOME="$HOME/.snapfolder" one can put in his config files.

Third, I can't understand how a distribution that makes a point of
being clean and simple to use let anything with the attitude above
inside.
