Install Updates Graphical Glitch

[Şerban S.]

I'd like to see compositing disabled, compiz completely removed and replaced with Compton. See if it does the same thing. I only have newer pc's to test things on.

I did exactely what you asked here, some couple years ago, when still on Mint. I even gave up all "fancy" features and it solved the problem. Never tried to use compositing since though, so this solution might well work, unless... video effects are really wanted. In which case, I doubt there is another solution than hardware upgrade.

The funny thing is that by the time, I was looking for a replacement for Linux Mint, due to high RAM consumption (it went up to 1400 MB on idle...) so I tested for some weeks Linux Lite (Guess it was before 4.0 or 4.0 at most) and then Manjaro and some other distros.
Got the same idea, disabled Compiz and all went OK. Well, more or less. It complained about something, I forgot what, but since there were no visible trouble, I just ignored the warning.
Maybe it worths mentioning that I primarily test distros that ship an XFCE version.
At the time, as now, I chose Linux Lite for the specific reason that it has XFCE.
There are tons of settings that I keep for years (/home partition) and took me more than 2 years to tune everything so, yeah, I'm stucked on XFCE.
