Could be, but me being an old-school text-oriented curmudgeon BOFH, I
assume that the Birght! Shiny! Pointy! Clicky! distro is busted.

Spending money is invariably the fastest way out. ;-)

TBH, this is now beyond me.  I'm pretty good with muddling through
with my hands on the keyboard, but "blindfold debugging" on a distro
I've never used myself (Debian guy since 1996 or so) not so much.
Sorry!

To me, "muddling through" is the fun part. :-þ  If not so much you,
and you can't bribe somebody to come look at it (or bring it to a LUG
and have people look at it there) buying a cheap Chromebook or
something might be the way to go.
