Well, Maui2 ISO per live-USB has now been music-streaming over WiFi for ~11 hrs without failing. Furthermore, i even tried one or two Lappy Suspend-Resumes, & WiFi picked up the connection nicely thereafter. This is very promising!
I'm still not quite ready to blow Mint 18 Xfce away completely yet, but i have made room on its SSD to install a second OS, eg, Maui2. All i need to work out next, before proceeding with the Maui2 installation, is how to create a shared /data partition into which i can move all Mint's /home's documents, for access by both Linuxes whenever either is booted, whilst keeping all their configs separate in dedicated /home partitions. Oh, & as i like to have /home encrypted with .ecryptfs, the putative new /data partition will also need to be encrypted. Fun.
