After successfully installing and running LinuxMint and LMDE2 on a PC and an ASUS-laptop I encountered problems with a new install on the third computer, a new ASUS laptop.
It's a 64 bit system where I installed Linux Mint Mate Sarah alongside Windows 10 and ugraded everything (apt-get upgrade & apt-get dist-upgrade). The install took a very long time (several hours).
Windows runs normally but unfortunately Linux takes several minutes to boot. When it's finally done it runs extremely "bumpy", appearing to stop every few seconds or so
(mouse-pointer freezes for a second, keyboard-input stops, even in terminal, and resumes and stops again...)
BTW, the touchpad doesn't work with Linux (but USB-mouse does).
I've already switched from gnome to XFCE4 which didn't solve the problem. I tried several things to improve performance (https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/3)
like setting the swappiness to 10 and removing indexing (apt-xapian-index) - no noticeable change. Also deactivated unnecessary startup items (bluetooth).
I've verified the uuids reported by blkid with those in fstab - they match.

EDIT: upgrade to 18.2 Sonya appears to have fixed the problem!
