dimi

Have been wrestling with it all night and can get neither the gdm3 nor the lightdm GUI to work with my installation on this old laptop.

Tried purging, updating and reinstalling both, to no avail.

I am going to give some other distros a chance now.

I couldn't get Xubuntu's GUI to load despite some help from @lucifargundam (thanks).

ran into a partitioning problem.

Now I'm having trouble getting my live USBs to launch on the laptop and I have no OS installed. (BIOS does recognize the USB drives, at least.) Will give it until midday ...

Something

is lower resolution than I remember it being.

(This is my final attempt. If this installation doesn't work, I give up.)
