Hello,
I started out with Linux Mint and my screen began shaking. Someone suggested I use a lighter distro. So, I uninstalled Mint and tried Puppy. Couldn't see any videos with their web browser (Pale Moon). I then installed Linux Lite on USB to try out. I'm now getting that shaking screen again. Any ideas? I'm new to all of this and just want to keep using my machine after Windows 7 support went away - I need step-by-step information/instruction and often don't understand the snippets of information given about Linux problems that seem to be for pros, so step-by-step is best for people like me. I did not do updates as there's not enough space on the USB, but I have a feeling it's something to do with my NVIDIA graphics. Thanks & here's my system info:

Hi everyone,
I have multiple monitors and I've reversed the primary monitor. On startup, my login screen stays on the other monitor (but if I move my mouse to the other screen it follows it). On Ubuntu LTS (what I was running before this) there was a fix to copy the monitors.xml file to another location and it would be fixed, but I've noticed that that file doesn't exist here. Any ideas?
This is the fix from Ubuntu:

Downloading Lite for the first time. Created the USB boot, when starting up it shows the Lite boot selections, but then boots to Peppermint 10 live desktop?
After trying a few different versions and getting the same result, I tried SUSE on the USB, and that booted up as it was supposed to, no issues.
The only partition is the install/live partition. No swap partition or file.
Any ideas on the Lite/Peppermint issue?
3 yr old Intel Core 2, 2 GB RAM box running Linux Lite 4.8.
I usually start working after suspending overnight, though sometimes I do a cold start.
On first start-up the computer operates normally for about 5 minutes, then the monitor goes blank and shuts off while the machine seems to remain active.
When I restart the computer from the power switch, it stays alive and functions properly.
I have a hard time understanding what might cause this. Can anyone help?
Some time ago, someone complained about scrollbar behaviour on Ubuntu and derived OS.
Solutions were offered here but will they work if I try it with LL ? They din't look easy to use for a beginner like me.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...gnome-3-10
They also say to right-click instead of left-click to move through the doc or page, but does that work in every app or there is a better fix?
I recently installed Lite 3.0 because of video driver issues (see my thread on that under Video section). Basically, my on-board graphics work better with Nvidia than Nouveau drivers. Lite 3.0, as well as other Ubuntu 16.04 distros, will allow me to install the Nvidia driver (304). But if I update to newer kernels that come with the point-updates, somewhere along the line Nvidia won't work anymore and I have to use Nouveau. So far I have tried updating Lubuntu 16.04 and that's what happened, bye bye Nvidia drivers.
So, if I stay on Lite 3.0, or I figure out I can use say 3.2 and still have Nvidia working, how long will I have support? The full 5 years, regardless of what point version or kernel I have? I ask because with Lubuntu, they tell me I have to update to the latest one to get the full five years. But I believe Lubuntu has a different release plan than most distros based on Ubuntu. But I just wanted to clarify this.
Thanks,
Mike
My first post 
I see a 4.2 version is there a 4.8 version? If so then where?
I'd be more then happy to test it because I saw in old post for version 4.2 no one had a EFI computer to test on and I do and it's very important to me to have EFI functionality for newer computers.
Thank you for this distro 
i have a Surface Book 2 model, i want to install LInux lite on that. will it work, does linux lite support touch screen? i have downloaded 4.8 Linux lite version
