Mint 19. and retropie X86

daywane:
 I am trying Ubuntu 18.04LTS. first time on linux on a PC.
PC is a HP ProDesk Intel i5 -4590, 3.3GHz, 10 gig of ram. my video card is PNY Technologies GeForceGT710 2GB DDR3 PCIE slot.
I have 2 retropi 3b plus and have no problems with them . I have even made my own image a few times. retropi I am comfertable with.
My problems are PC USB WIFI. I can not find one Ubuntu likes. RTL8811AU drivers.
2nd problem is in X86 retropie the sound and video is very choppy.
I have downloaded all N64 emulators and only 2 will load games. I am thinking it is my video card driver. This PC should run all N64 games no problems
 HDmi and Sound is working on my 50 inch LG TV

Grasshopper:
Have you tried upgrading the kernel? That's the first thing I try when I have driver issues.

daywane:
'yes I did.
I switched to linux Mint.
Mint found drivers. video card is better. WIFI is seen for driver but still no wifi
istalled retropie updating packages now

Mint is a much simpler Linux to start with.. Still installing and updating packages in retropie. the PPSSPP abdate is taking all morning.
I have desktop resized but it seems to revert back to a 76 inch TV after restart. My TV is 50 inch

daywane:
still no luck with wifi. looks like a new card or USB wifi will be needed.
any suggestions on a Linux one.?
