Chrome either crashes or loads so slowly as to be useless. This is very disappointing. I've used linux on many laptops designed for Windows and Linux alway works more or less well. Why am I havoing this probelm? Is anyone else seeing this?
I also updated "WiDevine" whatever that is. Something to do with Netflix and Amazon. What is this for? No explanation.
I paired my bluetooth mouse but lose the connection if I suspend it and have to delete the mouse from the list of bluetooth devices and reconnect it. I've had this problem with other laptops and distributions but thought I would have better bluetooth support in a linux laptop.
Before I install bionic mate, is there something here I'm overlooking?
The widevine thing is to do with the DRM that Netflix and Prime Video (and others) to encrypt their content. Not updating Widevine means those services won't be usable on your device.
