Resolving Linux Mint Issues

This section will help the end user resolve issues that may occur when using Linux Mint.  The following errors commonly occur when using CPU intensive activities (i.e. using multiple applications at the same time) or graphic intensive applications (i.e. playing a video game or using a a video editor).  To alleviate these problems try to use Linux Mint on a partition with enough memory to handle the application or use a stronger graphics card and make sure the drivers are updated.  There are Linux vendors who can make sure you don't experience these types of problems because they certify and configure their hardware and components to ensure they are optimized to work well with your Linux distribution.  I never purchased a Linux laptop so I have run into these issues as a Linux newbie.
