    [System] My HP Pavillion Entertainment PC laptop seems to be missing something in this version of the distro

    When I run the game Banished, it won't let me click on any of the menu buttons, plus it runs the game really slowly. Lubuntu 14.04 was on it last time I used this old machine, and it ran it. I had to do a fresh install because there was no way I was running an EOL on the internet! I tried running winecfg, and it wouldn't let me click on any tabs, and that's not in a game, so that's why I think something is missing. Maybe the CPU needs the correct firmware or something. The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo, and the GPU is an integrated Intel GM 4500. Also, some dialog boxes do not draw completely. Also, Specticle fails to capture any screenshots, and Firefox is glitchy and locks up the system sometimes.

    If I add some Lubuntu repos to Kubuntu, will that work? Or should I install Lubuntu first and then the Plasma/KDE desktop? I like the Plasma/KDE desktop better than what Lubuntu has.

      I have been doing Google searches, and I am wondering if I should install any i386 packages on my system.
