Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect 2 external monitors via 2 different interfaces (e.g. type-c or/and
hmdi or/and display port).
2. Attempt to boot.
Note: the issue is reproducible not only on laptops, but on PCs as well
(for example by connecting one monitor via HDMI and the other via DP).
Connecting monitors to motherboard instead of GPU doesn't resolve the
issue as well.
Result: The windows freeze and ubuntu desktop becomes inoperable.
Expected result: Ubuntu desktop works properly.
Below is the system information.

My device is Lenovo Legion Pro5 (2024).
I also tested it on Arch with wayland/X11, Gnome/KDE - everything works
properly. It doesn't work on Ubuntu with Gnome and with both
wayland/X11. Some users on Reddit reported in my post that the issue
also occurs on AMD GPUs. Thus, it might be not specific to GPU, WM, or
DE. Reinstalling ubuntu drivers (after purging them) did not resolve the
issue.
Possible workarounds:
1. Boot with only one external display and connect the other afterwards
(doesn't matter which interface is used).
OR
2. Use another distro.
