I have used Ubuntu for many years and it used to be very reliable. Now,
the maintenance of Ubuntu seems to have fallen into neglect. I was tired
of this problem with the Nvidia driver on Ubuntu 20.04, so I downloaded
the most recent version of Ubuntu last night (20.04.3) and installed it
on a new hard drive. The installation went well and Ubuntu was actually
working last night, but then while I was installing the driver for my
wireless adapter, an error message popped up about an error with the
Nvidia graphics driver. I thought it was a fluke because the graphics
were still working after the error message popped up, but now this
morning when I tried to boot into Ubuntu, all I get is a randomly
blinking cursor when the Nvidia graphics is supposed to launch. So now I
had to pull the new hard drive out and reinstall the old hard drive and
then go back to the last working Linux kernel (5.8) since 5.11 has been
a complete failure.
Although I wasted hours installing Ubuntu 20.04.3 last night, Ubuntu
failed before I was able to begin copying data files from the old hard
drive, so I can just scrap the installation of the faulty Ubuntu 20.04.3
from my hard drive. Can anyone recommend a more reliable version of
Linux that is simular to Ubuntu, since it appears the developers are not
going to fix 20.04.3 any time soon?
