1604 32-bit on an Acer Aspire One. I had it working on this machine dual booted with Windows XP. It ran slow but as advertised. There was a lot of garbage on the machine and it was no longer updating properly. So I decided to do a clean install (overwriting the XP), and that went fine except for when I boot up.
The left 80% of the screen is filled in with "confetti" for lack of a better term. It's all small, indecipherable characters. Fortunately the settings gear is visible and I discovered a work-around.
I click on the gear and select suspend. Then I press the power button and I get a full login screen. I provide my credentials and I everything is OK.
I'd rather not do this.
I realize that the Acer is an antique machine. I am using it as an educational "toy" to learn Linux. It's small and easy to carry on road trips. Surprisingly, it runs well (considering its age and under powered status) under Linux.
I am about as close to a novice as one can get in Linux, so please take it easy on me :).
