I don't know what is the problem, i think it's hardware related but the thing is i can't find a perfect distro, or at least a one that has no problems on my system. My laptops is a Dell Inspiron 3451: Intel Pentium N3540 4GB DDR3 1333mhz 500GB HDD 5400rpm Intel HD Graphics Baytrail gen. I have tried the following distros | having the following problem: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena | Pheripherials not working after suspension, for example wireless mouse, use flash drives, also cstate bug that is known on baytrail cpus (but i found a non official fix) Ubuntu 16.10 | Suspension, shut down, reboot not working, cstate bug too Linux Mint 17 | Same as Mint 18.1 Ubuntu 12.04.5 | It worked almost perfectly, suspension works, pheripherials work after suspension, no cstate bug, but can't enable natural scrolling on touchpad, and can't adjust brightness (I tried everything) Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 LTS | cstate bug, pheripherials not working after suspension I know cstate bug happens specially on Kernel 3.16+ on baytrail cpus, that's the reason for not happening on 12.04.5 lts, but at least there's a fix for that With cstate bug i mean the freezing problem. Do you think there is a special distro for me? I really wanna work on Linux. I hope to find something, thanks in advance bros

Consider arching it—though it requires more effort, YouTube has great tutorials. You might also explore non-Debian distributions like Red Hat, Fedora, Manjaro, openSUSE, Gentoo, etc.

Thanks! I also tried antergos, which is based on Arch, but it had its own issues. It ran very slowly and the peripherals stopped working after suspending it. I plan to address those small problems I saw in Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, just like JayKay3000 suggested. Appreciate the help!

I checked the issues on AskUbuntu and tried their advice, but it didn’t resolve them. I’ll continue working on fixing these small problems, since they were the most reliable overall. Thanks!

You really put in a thorough search, and I’m confident you’ll try these options tonight. I’ll share my thoughts afterward. You’re a solid person, keep going—thanks a ton! I’m working toward a great life.
