I am back in the fold. With this laptop. I had installed Netrunner 21.01 on it about a year ago and everything just worked. Awesome, never had that happen before so I kept it. Fast forward to Saturday and I decided to install v.23 and get some newer software. Bad idea. It didn't pick up the wifi, which made it careen into the ditch. After trying several times to get it to work, I installed OS 15.5 and it just worked. Everything seems to be working so far except for the %$#@! system going into screensaver after a period of time ( 5 mins, I think). I have not been able to find the setting and it is about on my last nerve. Other than that, it is a full blown desktop running on this I7-8550 hardware with 256GB SSD and 16GB ram. So far, so good.

I have also noticed that I can't get it to blank the screen after a while, without shutting down. The best I can do is the login screen, but that leaves the display on full all day & night.
