Problems with Ubuntu installation
I recently bought a new HP Spectre x360 laptop and installed Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit) for the first time.
I am seeing various bugs. I don't know if the problems are due to:
(a) Hardware problems with the new laptop.
(b) Software issues, i.e. Ubuntu not working with the other programs I have downloaded.
(c) Problems with the resolution I have chosen. Most of the problems seem to be display related. I had issues initially with setting the screen resolution correctly and so I have had to play around a little to get things looking okay with most programs. Screen is 3840 x 2160.
An couple of example of the problems that I am encountering:
When I make a Skype call, I have lots of weird flickering and colour changing etc.
When I use Google Chrome, I sometimes get strange flickering too.
I'm basically trying to isolate my problem before I try to fix it. I know that people have told me to expect Linux to be "buggy" but I don't have a feel of what this means.
Do my problems sound common when trying to use software like Skype and Chrome? Do I need to try a different version of Linux? Do I need to try and fix my resolution issues?
Any advice that might help to point me in the right direction would be great.

NAME
uligo - tsumego (go problems) practice tool
SYNOPSIS
uligo
DESCRIPTION
To get stronger at go, it is essential to develop one's reading ability. That is why professionals recommend to study life and death or
tesuji problems. uliGo is a program that allows you to do that: basically, the computer displays a problem, and asks for the answer. You
enter the first move, the computer responds, and so on until you reach the final solution or enter a wrong move.
USAGE
The basic operation of uliGo is simple. Click the right arrow to view a problem, and then click where you think the right answer is. The
Documentation item in the Help menu contains the full documentation for uliGo, such as configuring the timer or the order the tsumego are
displayed in.
By default, problems are presented in random order, with the colors and orientation of the problem randomly chosen.
FILES
~/.uligo
This directory stores information about how many problems you've solved, and SGF files you've downloaded yourself.
AUTHOR
Ulrich Goertz <uligo@g0ertz.de> is the author of uliGo. Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org> wrote this manual page for the Debian operating
system, but it may be used by others.
SEE ALSO
The uliGo website at http://www.u-go.net/uligo/ contains more (unclearly licensed) problems sets that cannot be included with the Debian
package.
