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?
I’ll be staying for good. I like it. The users are friendly, welcoming and knowledgable, it’s so nice to be part of a community like this. Plus it’s good to get some old school tech skills back and err against convenience when it comes with the cost of mainstream surveillance.
If you really have a GTX 580, it’s a very old card. You’ll need legacy drivers, and it will always be a hassle for future updates. You should replace it with something better, like an RX 480 or 580 they really cheap on second hand market
