    Try MX Linux.

    No you try THIS.

    I just lost 6 hours of my sleep over installing and running the mint
    xfce and do not want to venture into another course of hell unless you
    know what you're talking about.

    Maybe you need to try the various Forums. And you might want to
    give more hardware details of the system. such as the Graphic system,
    the amount of installed RAM, etc. Details of your install such as partitioning.

    I would using search engine DuckDuckGo ask it a simple question
    such as "Linux Mint (version number) crashing my computer?"

    Have you looked for a Linux Users Group in your vicinity?
    Frequently they have people who will help you get Linux which is how
    I got my first system running about 16 years back.

    Currently I have a set of Dell Latitudes most recent 7540
    running PCLinux, a rolling release and an early fork from Mandrake
    and Mandriva (which was my first Linux system). We have an excellent
    forum with coders,the packager and idiots like me,

    First off: Did it work when running as LiveCD, then fail after
    installation to HD?

    That's because of Avast, it does not works on Linux...

    I couldn't agree more.

    I always felt like strangling PERL gurus. And regexp gurus. They knew everything there was to know about the languages, except how to write a
    simple, maintainable, comprehensible and useful program in them.

    My college programming classes used Pascal.  EE curriculum.


    I loved Pascal. The University of Maine used it for a didactic
    language and many of the new engineering hires used it. I made some
    bucks writing dll's so Pascal could talk to real world
    instrumentation, robotic arms, and so forth.

    The original, pure design by Wirth was characterized as 'a computer
    language only good for telling itself secrets' .

    It was rubbish for real world stuff. You had to compromise it to do
    anything. C was designed from the outset to be useful, and I still
    revere it, with all its shortcomings. On a small memory machine it is
    absolutely the bees knees.



    When I put BDS C on my Osborne 1 I was in tall cotton.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDS_C
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1

    When I'd go into a client's site they would have some sort of weird
    lashup and crappy tools. With the Osborne I had all my assemblers,
    compilers, editors, and so forth ready to go in a portable environment.
    Well, sort of portable. It was 25 pounds but I was younger then. I even
    did a hardware hack to use the parallel port to burn EPROMs. It paid
    back the $1800 many times over.

    The Osborne Executive fizzled but when the Boston Globe was selling
    theirs as they migrated to PC's I bought 2.


    I learnt C initially with BDS C and CP/M
