Having recently installed Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS, the new experience is rather disappointing.
**1. sluggish in booting and starting programs:
when transferring volumes of data, such that a progress-window appears in previous Ubuntu, there is no such item now - only a small blue rotating disc/arrow: very slow
**2. during the boot procedure, there is some pixelating
**3. closing the lid for a break, I frequently find a screen full of coloured pixels on a generally white background:
I did discover that the latest BIOS is A16, with interim BIOS updates necessary - firstly A08.
Dell’s URL pages drives one into a reference loop …
I found my current BIOS is old, namely A07.
++This raises a number of questions.++
Does A07 have a virus? How can one ensure it is clean?
Using a USB thumb drive, how should I properly update the current BIOS to A08, then A09, eventually to A16?
Thank you.
