Installed the latest Linux Mint Mate 19.3 on moms computer, was version 18.1. Since I'm sitting with her all day, I took the time to partition her hard drive, as I have mine, separating root '/' from '/home'. Hopefully this newer version will be more reliable than the old which frequently…at times would lock up. It locked up on me 3 times a few days ago while playing videos on the vlc player. I didn't have any stalling problems on her computer that I had installing the latest Mint Cinnamon on my computer a few days ago. However I did have to re-download Mate because Mint said my media was corrupt...or words to that effect. Since I already destroyed the existing Mint I had to do this using the 19.3 flash drive.
