Yesterday I restored an old laptop with Linux Mint. Under Windows 10, he ran only miserable. Now I have the problem that when I scroll, for example on websites have Bildzerreißen. Do you know how to fix things? Otherwise, everything is going really well, I do not want to play any 3d games on it, but only have it as 2.Pc for programming, browsing, youtube, school
Technical details:
Acer Travelmate 5740
I5
4GB ram
600GB HDD
about 8-10 years old
Linux Mint 64Bit Mate (latest version)
Firefox?
Yes I know. Must be some bug in combination with Intel GPUs.
In the address bar: enter about: config.
After the option
layers.acceleration.force-enabled
Search and set to True (double-click Firefox reboot & it should be fixed.
Do you also know how to minimize the startup time he always takes about 2 minutes to start up. I know he is no longer the youngest but even windows 10 booted faster.
What kind of Grafig unit is installed?
For Nividia there's a thread here: https://hope-this-helps.de/serendipity/archives/481-Ubuntu-Linux-Mint-Screen-Tearing-mit-Nvidia-Grafikkarte.html

In any case, under the driver management you find in the menu, make sure that the graphics driver is selected, just try a little, click through the Internet
Install SSD…
Oh yes and do not think Windows drives up faster, because it is better, Windows does not go down so that the start time is shortened. You can just use sleep mode with Linux
Ok thanks, I think I will not invest in it anymore, but the info is still good
Have the answer just added, please read.
Ok thanks for the other info, do not think windows is better
Thank you that has everything fixed… It was my point, at least reasonable to browse.
