I did not want to actually install Ubuntu.  I wanted to be able to run it
and see how it has progressed since I last used 12.04 from 2012 till 2016
on 3 x machines that were formerly Win XP.

In summary then, my hardware is suspected to be the issue, and if I want to
progress to see if the Wayland option helps, I have to install Ubuntu.

From what I have seen so far, I will not proceed with installation.

However, I may have to-visit that decision if I am unable to resolve the
issue in Win 10 - if I have to rebuild Win 10, I may as well clear it all
out and install Ubuntu.

Thank you for your perseverance Daniel.

Regards,
Glenn Stewart
