I did read up a bit on that, and if I hadn't found a suitable tool on 
Linux Mint I would have gone further. Being sure to get all the 
parameters right is why I like the GUI tools. I know I should learn to 
do it the command line way, and maybe one of these days I will give that 
a try.

For now I have a live on USB version of Slackware running. So far the 
stability issues I've been having with Ubuntu and Linux Mint have gone 
away. I can close the lid and the system continues to run. The screen 
goes blank, but comes back after I lift the lid, and the screen remains 
stable. With both Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and Linux Mint 19 MATE, I had those 
problems.
