for ubuntu, since probably ~2022, i’ve only ever used the LTS releases and never had even a hint of a problem installing every update as soon as it is pushed. i setup a multi-account jellyfin+servarr, a 24 TB DAS RAID, tested a thoroughly absurd quad display including a projector, did some absurd QGIS spatial analysis, ran OBS and had zero issues with voice/video chat live and recorded, including through web interfaces. i even monkeyed around in the grub settings like a total amateur to screw around with different kernels and never created a problem i couldn’t immediately back out of.
sorry you had issues, but ubuntu LTS is my default recommend for someone interested in exploring a mint alternative for primarily productivity and email/surf/video usage.

I couldn’t run any games and I couldn’t even get a bootable USB drive to work. Nobara works great but it was a pain to get there
