It seems that the Ubuntu "snap"s are not being updated for a few 
years??

It seems some of my problems are related to the very old versions 
I got with snap :(

dub  - 1.19.0 (seems to be from Oct 2020)
ldc2 - 1.24.0 (seems to be from Oct 2020)
dmd  - v2.090.1 (Feb 2020)

I feel stupid for choosing snap (I don't use snaps, just felt 
like a convenient thing to try this time!).

I will try using latest of everything on Linux (on Mac I think I 
was already fine on latest) and hope it works better.
