To my #Linux friends out there: I have two questions (for two different laptops).

Question #1: Linux Mint 21 freezes regularly on a new Dell laptop (less than a year), it was problematic from the beginning because with one kernel (6.something) the WIFI did not work and with the other kernel (5.something) I have the freezing issue. Is there another dispo which works better with Dell laptops? I would need an easy-to-use dispo because I am still new at Linux and have vision problems.

@meow_factor Try upgrading to the current version of Mint, 22. Instructions are on their site. That will include a newer kernel, etc. The kernel in 21 may be older than that laptop.

@Corb_The_Lesser I have just done that, upgrading was really easy, now I just have to wait and see if freezing happens again.

It seems as if mouse and keyboard react quicker - but maybe that's just my imagination :)
