Yesterday, for some reason I backed up all my user data on my Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS installation --- my main desktop that I use for daily work.
Today, there was a Kernel update that I installed & ruined my installation.
I have 2 screens running on a NVidia 1660 video card but after the kernel update the drivers wouldn't be recognized. So my screen was at 1024x768  and only 1 screen even worked. Crazy!
I even booted off a USB stick with an only slightly older version of Ubuntu (without those kernel updates) and it all worked fine running from the stick!!!
I wrote it up (to no avail) at AskUbuntu[^].
I wasted over 3 hours trying to get the drivers to work with the new kernel and/or attempting to back up to previous kernel.
Finally I did a complete reinstall of Ubuntu and restored my data. About 1 hour later I was all back working again. Can't really believe I was able to do that so fast.
This kind of catastrophic failure shouldn't happen...but it does.

Yeah, sadly (even in 2022) Ubuntu specifically (Linux generally) has problems with proprietary video drivers. It reminds me of Windows pre-2005. I blame the use of a monolithic kernel...

I have had good luck with the Nouveau drivers, if I do install from Nvidia, I stay one level back. But, I only have one monitor (34"). It has been like forever since I had non-self-inflicted problems. I stay with either Debian or LMDE (Mint based on Debian, not Ubuntu). Ubuntu is based on Debian but your pals at Canonical and Microsoft add the salt and pepper.

Yeah, I almost switched to Mint today, but I wasn't sure if I did an install and then restored from my back up, if all my stuff would be "found".
I had really great luck with the restore back to Ubuntu.
All my apps are ready to go and set up properly again. I'm amazed.
Luckily i did two things that helped a lot:
1. named my computer exactly as it was named before
2. create my user-name exactly as it was before.
All went well.
I'm kind of assuming that if I installed Mint and named computer same and made my user name the same that I'd be able to restore from my Ubuntu backup anyways??? What do you think?
If that would work (since home directory would be really the same) that would be really cool.
It's all Debian anyways.

If I was going to try that, I would probably test it on a spare drive. With all the crap that has gone with systemd and such, I would watch out for Murphy. I only have a handful of paid applications and they are easy to install, a factory refresh is easy. I think the use of text files instead of a database (like registry) simplifies things. I have always had good experiences with Mint/mate.

Veeam Agent for Linux is your friend. Community edition is free. Interface is command promptish but works fine. I back up the whole drive to my TrueNAS system. Use backup to recover drive or files.

In my setup - Fedora, not Ubuntu - I always keep two version back of the kernel (it is a configuration thing, so I do not manage it manually on each update)... So if something went wrong, I can just pick during the boot the previous or the one before...

Thank you for the solid idea. I believe I'm going to have to follow that process now too.

That's the thing with Linux in my experience...it works great...until it doesn't.
Have you tried re-applying that update that screwed everything in the first place?

I agree. I do understand that it is kind of a hobbyist's OS.
But Ubuntu should be a step better than this really.
I saw 3 other kernel versions in GRUB and tried each one of those but none of them would work either.
I really had no idea what I was doing so I could've done something wrong but I just couldn't get it back.

I would not call it a hobbyist's OS...
It is extremely good at development - I do it on a very serious level all the time...
The 'problem' is that it is way to versatile and de-centralized for it's own good...
So it is very easy to miss settings and get it wrong...
In other word it is definitely not 'out-of-the-box' OS... not even Ubuntu...

I agree with you. I think it is far better than the Windows side (and I've been a Windows user since Win3.0). it may have sounded like a hobbyist's OS may have sounded like a derogatory term but it wasn't meant that way. I meant that the user has to expect to work on configuration more than other OSes --- but maybe with the recent Windows updates reverting settings etc. it probably isn't any more of a consumer product.
