Despite the Kubuntu installer saying it failed, I was able to boot into
Kubuntu.
It is using the nouveau driver and so far seems to work without freezing
for at least 1 hour.
However, currently I have no sound.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll download Kubuntu and try that.

Maybe you could try installing Kubuntu and then installing the Ubuntu
Studio Desktop?
That works fine for me. HTH.

A data point: I'm using an HP Envy 17 laptop, older Intel i7
processor, and according to the "Software & Updates" panel I'm using
the X.Org X server with the Noveau display driver.
Nvidia hardware is "GeForce 940M".
No problems.
I'm not doing anything really complex, the usual home stuff but no
gaming (D&D using VTT and discord, but nothing very taxing to the
system).
Installation was from the DVD, nothing other than the usual items
asked for during the installation.

I bought an Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop, with Intel Core i5 CPU

It came with Windows 10. I booted from USB to live Ubuntu Studio
20.04 and installed it after repartitioning.
I can boot into Ubuntu Studio, but after a few minutes, everything
except the mouse freezes. I can move the mouse around, but not
click on anything, not drag anything. Key presses do nothing. I
could press CTRL ALT F1 for a terminal and do things there, but
since I updated the kernel to 5.8.0-23-lowlatency, even that no
longer works after booting.
I would really like to get Ubuntu Studio working on this laptop, as
Windows 10 sucks. I can revert it all back to just Windows 10 if
necessary, but would rather use Linux.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Some websites suggest the graphics driver. I have the Nvidia
proprietary driver installed and selected, originally the
Xorg-nouveau driver was in use, but I removed this as some say it
is buggy.
