    Mint 20 is relatively new, only trouble I had was running Wine, possibly my ignorance, but I didn't have that problem using Mint 19.3.

    Mind you early on in 19.3 I had one or two other issues. I suppose it's like anything else, teething problems, sorted out after the release.

    My broadband is behaving now, it's been dropping out or freezing on and off for hours. Seems to happen now and then mostly on Sundays, wonder if that's a maintenance day?

    My Talktalk contract for standard copper broadband and phone was just ending, was paying £26 per month inclusive, renewal was £29 per month.

    Upgrading to standard fibre was £28 per month, so I went with that.

    It was done this morning, everything went off for a few minutes, then all OK.

    Speed is about the max they quote for this package. 35Mbps down and 10 Mbps up.

    Pretty happy, so far!

    More likely Everyman, child and dog streaming stuff and the bandwidth at exchange being hit and so the throttling software comes into play and turns down what is available to you, a bit like turning down everyone’s cold water tap at the same time.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Sounds like your tablet could do with a full refresh. Back up all your apps, data, favourites etc using say Samsung Cloud or Google, perhaps both. Then factory reset and then restore. I always find things become snappier after a full refresh.

    Or try one of the many tuning apps. Sometimes things can get better that way.

    You may find everything is already backed up.

    That'll teach me. I ran some old Windows 7 maintenance apps and a few functions in Windows 10 stopped working. Did a reset from Microsoft (not system restore) and all seems OK now, but all documents and images are lost. Fortunately nothing critical and I have stuff saved up to about eight months ago. Been at it for hours and still have software to locate and install, plus all my regular websites. Won't do that again!
