Another issue. I tested Knoppix on my other computer (24 gb RAM). This 
one has enough "resources."

It works without issues, but if you, in the middle of using an 
application, leave the computer for like 10 minutes without touching it, 
when you come back, everything on the screen is frozen. Clicks and 
keyboard inputs won't work, so the task manager cannot be brought up to 
force the application closed. So you'd have to just shut the computer 
down manually.

Is this the same problem some of you mentioned in relation to Linux not 
coming back up from sleep? If so, then why do I have stuff on the screen 
as I left it, and not just a blank screen? It looks like computer 
doesn't go to "sleep", but into a sudden, silent, and eternal freeze :)

Very Linux like.

But this computer is the one on which Linux Mint did the same two years 
back, except with the latter it only took less than one minute to go 
into that state even while you were interacting with it. With Knoppix, 
it looks like, as long as you are active and are interacting with it, it 
runs and runs, but when you don't interact with it, it goes into that 
state. I've tested this three times so far!

Is it the computer or Knoppix?
