Hey everyone, it's my first post on this forum site, so go easy on me (; haha
Anywho...
So, I've been fiddling with Ubuntu and Kubuntu lately, and the last time I installed Ubuntu 15.10 on my laptop, after about 10 minutes, the screen would flicker uncontrollably and it made the computer unusable until I restarted. After looking online, I found that mostly everyone that has an NVidia graphics card has this problem, so I went through terminal trying to download the latest driver and it still was doing the flickering. I eventually gave up and re-installed Windows. Now, I'm wanting to go back to Kubuntu 15.10, and when I was test driving it on my USB, it started to flicker just like Ubuntu did. I saw one guy mention that he downgraded his NVidia Graphics driver to a few previous version one and it worked fine for him, and then others said that they downloaded some tool called Compiz Config but apparently only some ocmputers can use it? And then I saw some people say to turn off "dithering" in the NVidia Control Panel, but I never had an Nvidia Control Panel even after I downloaded the drivers via terminal or the NVidia Website.
So before I go forth with the install of Kubuntu, I wanted to see if you all have any suggestions?
Thanks!
