I have just, for the first time, installed Linux - Mint on a Toshiba Satellite C50 previously upgraded to Windows 10, which then went into terminal decline. I used a Linux Mint live CD and removed the Windows installation completely. No major problems encountered so far, although it does seem a little slower than I had expected, particularly lag with the trackpad. Is there anything I can do to improve performance, or are there any problems with the hardware I should investigate? I have included an inxi report, which I hope will mean something to some of you:
Many thanks in anticipation,
Martyn
