So, I've used Linux before (mostly Debian) and I know some about using Linux but I'm no expert, and this my first time trying this OS and KDE and it's giving me a lot of trouble. My first trouble was with the screen freezing and making me have to shutdown the computer by holding the power key, but I was able to fix that by changing the Intel HD rendering mode to uxa, now it doesn't do that anymore but I have another issues I haven't been able to fix. The most annoying one is that I can't shutdown the computer, or suspend it, and this is a laptop that I use mostly for college so I really use the suspend function a lot between classes. When I try to shutdown the computer it just goes to terminal, and asks me to log in, I can only shut it down by "sudo halt", and when I try to suspend it, just leaves me at a black screen in which I'm able to move the cursor but can't do nothing and have to hold the power button. I also started having some screen flickering the last time I was using it. Also a widget (I think they're called Plasmoids?) that shows some graphs, sometimes shows the processor at more than 80%, while doing nothing, but I don't know how reliable it is. I haven't tried using other DE than KDE so it might be the problem but I'd actually want to keep it if possible.
My laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 100 15IBY 80MJ using Intel Celeron N2840 with Intel HD Graphics.
