I know you meant well, but, don't talk to me as if I'm the village idiot.
I said I don't run snaps or Ubuntu, which is nothing to do with lack of understanding (*)
I'll contact a couple of people in Canonical to obtain what I need.
(*) I worked as a kernel maintainer for Canonical (Ubuntu) from 2007/8 and I worked as a kernel maintainer for Redhat on RHEL (which Centos is a free version) from 2011 - 2019. This is addition to writing and maintaining Squashfs in the upstream kernel.
