Voce e um carioca! Bom dia 😀  
That's just about exhausted my Portuguese but I have spent many happy hours stuck on the RIo Niteroi bridge.

Hi Jbudd,

Good to know you were here. Really, depending on the day time, the bridge there is a lot of traffic jams kkkk.

What you should really be asking yourself is...

Should I virtualize it?

And I prefer Ubuntu Mate - [Choose an architecture | Download](https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/) - with minimal Desktop selected - as it's core Ubuntu LTS etc but with minimal extra desktop stuff so only 4GB install etc - great for VM's etc - but a desktop when you need one.

Also there is a version that runs on Pi as an alternative to RaspiOS if you want to keep the same familiarity across multiple platforms. (Pi5 support coming to next LTS).

I also tried Ubuntu Mate, it is of course the big brother of Linux Mint 👍
