it would work due to my early experience with stock Ubuntu 16.04. I was pleasantly surprised that it did work. The only issue I experienced was that my screen would flicker when the machine was in the process of switching to the screensaver and eventually shutting down the screen. This must have been fixed by a later kernel version as it quit doing the same months later. Mate came with kernel 4.4 which surprised me as stock Ubuntu had a higher kernel version. So, continuing on, since Ubuntu Mate 16.04 was up and running so well, I was ready to try something else. So I loaded up Ubuntu Mate 17.04. Right away I had the same problems that I experienced in Ubuntu 16.04. This time I sought help on the Ubuntu forums. After some troubleshooting we determined that there seemed to be a problem with IOMMU between Linux and my AMD A10 processor. I can provide the links to all these bug reports if you think it can help someone else. Being that this email has been so long, I will end up by saying (37/39)
