   THANKS for detailed info like this.  Not long ago I sifted through a variety   
   of distributions to find the "right match" for a particular PC. I ran into   
   NVIDIA screen-tearing issues.  The ususal tips out there helped somewhat. Then   
   I encountered issues with the screensaver function that my friend wanted. I   
   also experienced lockups at idle.   
      
   If I encountered a problem, I just moved on to another distro. It was also a   
   good way to see how they varied in appearance.   
      
   I eventually found the distro that handled everything well, right out of the   
   box.   
      
   (To the critics: OK, I've picked up this echo just recently. Bite me. I've   
   also quoted more than I usually would in case the original from 2017 was   
   nolonger available.)   
      
   Now, I'm looking for the possibility of finding another distro that will   
   cooperate with a Toshiba 1800 from w-a-y back in 2001.  Works rather fine with   
   XP, but I need a distro ISO that is under 800mb.   
      
   THAT is another topic for later! LOL
