Been running Linux since dinosaurs roamed the earth, floppy disks, 110 baud, blah blah blah, many machines, many distros. This is a new-ish laptop, clean F23 install. Inspiron is one model down in build quality than my usual and I regret that. I've had to disasssemble and retighten screws twice to avoid crashes when lifting, twisting, repositioning screen, etc. This doesn't seem to be a replay of that, although a click certainly can cause mechanical motion. The screw tightness problem was causing a full hardware crash, short to ground, dead box, not a desktop crash, so I'm pretty sure they're different issues. > Of course, I don't use Gnome, but even that should be more > stable than this. GNOME3's not my first choice, just went with the defaults to see how long until I'm disappointed again and find a new desktop. So I've narrowed it down to hardware, driver or desktop manager. Now to vary one factor at a time, gather data, and try alternatives. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
