Glad I got alerted before I nicked off to wreak havoc elsewhere, lol.
Lubuntu may not in fact be the best idea, at the moment. Read the linked article below in context with the rest of my comments.
https://bugs.launchubuntupad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147 - Stan (
@atanere ) brought this to our attention first, and I am not sure if Brian (
@Condobloke ) is aware of it (Is that so, or not, Bri?)
Lubuntu is what we call a " 'buntu-based" Distro. Others include Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and so on. All based nearly directly on Ubuntu. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, but not so intimately so.
LaunchPad is a site run by Ubuntu, but deals with many Debian-based distros.
This only affects the 17.10 series, but for the benefit of The Viewers, some of the computers affected include, but may not be limited to, the following:

Now, Angel, you'll see a Dell there. And although the site says "This bug affects 131 people" ... that is simply the number of people whom have contacted LaunchPad with their outcomes.
So until this bug is put to rest, prospective 'buntu users might be better advised to use the 16.04 series, which is LTS (long-term support).
The 17.10 series has a shelf life of 9 months for support, and the LTS have 5 years. So 17.10, whilst it has the latest whistles and bells, expires in July, whereas 16.04 is covered until April 2021.
Angel, if you are not shy, let us know your Timezone, and then I will have a better handle on when your times and my DownUnder times intersect.
Cheers
Wizard
BTW I am off to replace my Betas on Ubuntu 17.10 GNOME and 17.10 MATE with the Real McCoy, and see if I can blow up my Toshiba with the bug. Seriously, I can't have any downtime unless the power company goes on the fritz, because I run 65-70 Linux at any time. Call me mad, call me crazy, as long as you don't call me late for dinner.
