> I don't see why it shouldn't run Linux for more than 11 years. Linux itself is not the problem. The problem is just with Nvidia GPUs more than a few years old. Nvidia stops supporting older GPUs in their current drivers after a few years. And the older drivers that do support the older GPUs only support older kernel versions. So you would need to be using Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.4 on this machine and then you would have the ability to use the stable Nvidia-340 driver. Also Ubuntu 20.04 is supported for much longer than 21.04 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases).
The free nouveau driver that's built into the Linux kernel is frankly unfinished and causes a lot of bugs. Even when it's not causing bugs, the performance of that driver does not compare to Nvidia's own proprietary drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940154 Title: Xorg freeze (nouveau/ttm use-after-free with full-screen video) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1940154/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
