By the way, I have 8GB of Ram installed, and I was watching my Docky System monitor as it froze one time, and RAM use was under 15%, I think under 10. Everything was green in the system monitor (even on the frozen screen, go figure).
If anything like this happens with Mate, I'll post back here, or if it stays functional with no issues for a week or two, I'll also post back here (which would be a heck of an improvement over multiple issues every day since my install of Mint 18 Cinnamon). I am guessing this is a cinnamon issue, and that would help prove it since I will be installing and running exactly the same programs I always use.
