What I plan on doing, at this point, is continue to port all my information to the Linux drive and use it more as my primary drive in order to get used to working in Linux. Afterwards, I'm going to program another drive (yeah, a 4th one!) with 18.3 then upgrade to 19.X as you did and see if that makes a difference.
There is nothing physically wrong with my computer other than some components could be up to 8 years old. But with many others having the same problems I am I find it easier to believe that there is something wrong with the O/S instead.
it could be that there is something not quite right with the OS 19.3- for sure- I do see that some folks have quite a time with it- I guess i was one of hte fortunate ones-
I will say I first installed it as a clean install, and it changed the look of some things to a point that i didn’t quite like it- icons, font and a few other things- I tried to get it back to what i was used to but to no avail- so i formatted the petition again, reinstalled 18.3, and then did the upgrade and for some reason everything i liked about 18.3 remained while the os was upgraded to 19.3- (The thing i love about linux is you can format the petition and reinstall the os and do all your tweaks to it in about 1 hour compared ot nearly 24 or so hours with windows- waiting for all the updates, tweaking everything, making it ‘safe’ via several programs etc- windows just takes forever to get everything just the way i like it- linux takes about 1 hour- m aybe about 1 1/2-)
can docking trays be hooked up to regualr computer? That sounds cool- would make my scenario of using one operating system solely for online banking and shopping, then unplugging after the transactions are done, much easier that having two physical computers to swap around-
nm my question about docking- looks like it will be bottlenecked by usb 2 speed in my case-

Bob did this, And I’m not sure but it might actually retain some of 18.3 stuff to help run older hardware that might be absent from a new complete 19.2 download. Not sure, but It would have to go take the time to read the source on both to see if 19.2 removes too much stuff from the previous 18 when it installs. Couple hours of reading source to know for sure. lol
