As above switched to Linux and i am enjoying it i picked Ubuntu as TBH it was the first I came across. The last two times it has prompted me to update has caused a drama. First would only give me a black screen of text so I did a reinstall.
The latest one went fine it updated to 6.17.0-94 but i lost all networking no wifi By the looks of it the problem I have is i have an older device that has nvidia 580 graphics card. I have rolled back for now but questions are;
Is there a way to pre-emt this, as i feel now as soon as i restart it will jump back up and leave me without networking to resolve. its quite a faff trying to find out what to do on my mobile and typing it in the terminal.
Is it better to fix or try another distro?
The 580 drivers might just be the default for nvidia. I have two computers with nvidia GPUs that are like 10 years apart in age, but both look like they’re running 580 drivers.
I don’t really know what’s wrong with the networking though. Maybe try updating from terminal if you haven’t?
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
