I Took Big Risk With Prism Linux

With the Figure of 8 Virus constantly bothering my old ACER Laptop doing a completly graphical installation with ARCH based Prism Linux was a real big risk not knowing what drivers it would use for graphics. 
I tried 8 other distributions on this laptop only two failed.

REBORN OS got the keyboard configuration wrong.

Italian Modiccia won't mount the USB, most likely it is a DVD image.

Commodore Linux 3.1 has lot of music but is the Ugliest MATE Desktop.
 
Except Prism Linux all are  including REBORN OS are installed in my NUC while the Laptop was in the attics all these time metaphorically speaking.

4 attempts at manual installation failed.

An earlier attempt RUINED the GRUB and the Hard Disk. This time, too.

I have never given automatic INSTALL command all my life and I gave automatic INSTALL instruction few minutes ago.
It says 95% OK and stuck there in and ENDLESS Loop.

It finished the installation and the KDE cannot configure WiFi.

I am going to try GNOME before giving up
If I cannot get WiFi link and automatic updates, I going to give using it.
I was about to say this was good for costomers feeling the Microsoft Nose Punch.
Wait few minutes, will You.

By the way, I cannot access the Terminal.
Not with some keyboard tricks but with some mouse clicks I got the Terminal on.
7-0-11-lxqt kernel in progress.
It is 752 download size.
Instal sixe 2256.
I can read the Terminal entry but I not cannot type any commands including EXIT.
