I was using 16.04 until recently.

With having to use on-screen keyboards and a wireless mouse, from my bed, the word prediction and learning settings became a serious issue.

Whilst visiting a particular website, the keyboard software went into overdrive. Typing combinations of words "all by itself".

It rapidly installed other drivers and bios software.

I can't do physical things now, so, a store-fitted new motherboard, graphics card and hard drive later, a new install of Mint.
