Could you please come around to see me and to help me to debug the issues I have with my laptop.
I reinstalled Ubuntu GNU/Linux in an attempt to get su ... exit online, but I found out that sudo apt install <package> works just fine. My issues are as follows: (1) Scrolling the screen has slowed down dramatically. (2) My USB stick drives are not working anymore. (3) The mouse doesn't work. Because my USB stick doesn't work I am reluctant to re-install Linux by reformatting my hard drive as I am unable to save my work.
