I had been having frequent hangs with my 4-year-old Ryzen 5 1400
system. In the process of debugging, I replaced my boot drive, which
also had /home on it. When I installed ubuntu a year ago, I downloaded
and installed chromium from your website. It was not the snap version.
This time I reinstalled after installing the new drive (500G M.2), and
the ubuntu installer did not install chromium. I went looking, and it
appeared that snap-chromium was now the preferred version, so I
installed it.
When I did, I found I no longer had any bookmarks, passwords, etc., and
inspected the file system. Please do not try to lay this at the feet of
the M.2 drive or the ubuntu installer.
