��Linux Mint 19.1 works well using my laptop (Toshiba Z930 6 GB RAM) and a
��USB3�� connection to a 500G USB3-harddisk. I first tried a fast 10-speed 64GB
��SD-card, but that actually seemed to be slower - and the SD-card would
��have worn out in the end. For some reason Mint has got a swapFILE in
��the root directory - pretty hard on the SD-card.

��I haven't got USB3.1 (yet).

��19.1 supports Bluetooth in both directions: under Mint 19, I couldn't
��send from Mint to my Android phone (Android 7.1)

��19.1 also features snapshots. I didn't have to test them as I prefer
��to run Mint off my laptop�� (no power-cuts there). Occasionally I run it off my
MacMini (8 GB of RAM, OS 10.7.5).

��The MacOS is too old for many things, and to avoid having to buy new
��Mac gear, I�� 'upgraded' by running Mint on it.
