Maybe they fixed that part, but that isn't a good thing. Now you can't feel whether something is installed as snap and will probably run into snap issues without a clue what could be causing them.
CRTs don't have pixels so the resolution of the signal isn't that important. It's about the inherent softness you get from the technology. It's better than any anti-aliasing we have today.
Because snaps are terrible. They constantly break parts of apps for no reason. If you have container issues with a flatpak, just use flatseal to punch a hole through the container. With snaps, people will tell you to install the non-snap version because that's easier than beating snap into submission.
I learned that the hard way when I had a university project with kubernetes and docker was installed as a snap. I spent way too much time trying to make it work at all before giving up and switching to a VM on my work laptop where it went surprisingly smooth without snaps.
Flatpaks are better in every way and since this isn't about money, we should all just move on and use the best tool for the job.
But what does canonical think should happen when you run sudo apt install firefox and press Y?
That's right, you now have firefox as a snap. Have fun waiting for 5 seconds every time you start it.
Shit like that scares new users away from linux as a whole
Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that's why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.
Installing arch is a great way to learn. Also don't be scared of daily driving it, it's not like it breaks twice a week. More like once a year, which is better than ubuntu in my experience.
Meine elektrischen Außenspiegel sind Gold wert, wenn mal wieder ein Passat dicht auffährt und ich meinen eigenen Schatten auf Straßenschildern sehe.
Hier zwischen Karlsruhe und Heidelberg fährt jeder dritte VW (inklusive Audi, Skoda, Seat und dem Rest des Konzerns) mit komplett verstellten Scheinwerfern rum. Ich glaube es gibt in der Gegend die eine oder andere Werkstatt, die Glühbirnen austauscht und dann die Scheinwerfer einfach wieder irgendwie zusammenbaut.
Bei den LED-Scheinwerfern passiert das mit VW aber auch extrem oft, als würden sie ab Werk einfach gar nichts einstellen und die Verantwortung an die Händler abgeben. Die Händler stellen nämlich mit Sicherheit nichts ein.
Gorilla Glass Victus is just a marketing term. It's still glass, and glass breaks (and gets scratched). Always use a screen protector. If your phone has curved edges on the front, a case is also mandatory because curved screens are very easy to break.
90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it's nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There's a setting for that, but I think it's on by default.

Copied from another comment I wrote about that:

Have you compared NES games on a CRT with the same games on a modern screen?
CRTs just look miles better.
Something like mint or fedora is just as easy to install and has less issues than ubuntu (snaps)
Use something other than gnome and, while you're at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.
KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.
Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that's why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.
That's mostly politics as well.
The boost app has a karma counter, maybe people want to see the funny number go up.

Hilft das Chiptuning auch beim Getriebe? Ab Werk soll das ja grausam sein.
Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.
Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.

I know a lot of people my age (early 20s) who use tiktok and have no idea what tracking or privacy mean.
Kids might be smart, but if this is all they've known and it works well enough they don't pay attention and don't use their critical thinking.
But the deck can also be used for gaming with zero tinkering, so kids will do that.
KDEs wobbly windows will convert almost any child to linux.
Which distro and GPU? I've had a terrible experience with my 1070 Ti across Windows, kubuntu and arch and I didn't even try Wayland.
