Using the same live usb you can also access your filesystem and create backups on an external drive.

That looks like an uefi menu.

Is there anything legible on screen between choosing Ubuntu and returning to the menu? You could try boot repair and create a summary. That may give a lead. Have you...

Adobe hasn't released a new version of Acrobat Reader for Linux since 2013, so I very much doubt it would install, let alone run. The libraries it depends on must be ancient history by now.

See https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2497219 or https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2497215

The same applies to all flavours and it happens for every version.

24.04 has just been released for fresh installs. The upgrade path from the preceding release is normally opened in the next week, but delays of a few weeks are common. This is because, after the new...

The more you know about Windows, the more you have to unlearn when transitioning to Linux. Although the GUI can be somewhat similar, underneath they are very different.

Without knowing how exactly...

Unless you use hibernation (which isn't recommended), the swap isn't used when the system isn't running. It's normal to share one swap partition among multiple operating systems (and one reason to...

When you shutdown, all processes get the SIGTERM signal. This tells them to terminate. If the process doesn't terminate, it will get the SIGKILL signal a short time later, instantly terminating the...

Web sites can ask your browser to use a particular font and if that font isn't installed on your system, the browser will fall back to a default. Your Windows system has Microsoft fonts installed,...

That looks less suspicious. If that last update included a kernel upgrade, you could try booting an older kernel. Reading the logs may give a clue about what went wrong. But given that you haven't...

I'm not familiar with a skull and crossbones screen. It almost sounds like a software pirate trying to be funny.

With a live disk you can investigate the logs, see what upgrades were installed,...

5% is reserved for root, so not used, but not available either. You can change that (read man tune2fs for details), but I don't think you'll gain a lot. After you filled the first 95%, it will take...

There's no need to run Notepad++ on Wine; there are plenty of native Linux text editors.

There are tricks to run some, but not all, Windows applications on Linux, but if you want a lot of them,...

You can download some executable on Linux and install it, like the normal method on Windows, but on Linux that's considered the method of last resort. Or second last, before compiling from source....

Good whatever-it-is-in-your-place and welcome to the forum.

Could you show the exact error? Please run
sudo apt updatein your terminal and post the complete output. The teminal gives detailed...

Could you show the output of
df -htoo? df -i only shows the inodes. You haven't reached the limit on the number of files, but may have reached the limit on total file size.

You can check the wine application database to see if other people had success using your applications on Wine and read about any tuning they needed.

Using native Linux applications is usually...

Most issues can be solved, but with a pre-installed Ubuntu, you don't know how it was configured. That makes it harder to see what's going on.

Can you create and boot a live usb with Ubuntu 22.04...

For most software, the version is frozen when the corresponding version of Ubuntu is released. So Ubuntu 23.10 has Blender 3.6 and Ubuntu 24.04 will have Blender 4.0. It's expected to be released...

apt can't read the list of installed files for the package libapparmor1:amd64 due to file corruption. That sounds like a broken harddrive indeed.

Maybe reinstalling linapparmor1 helps. Maybe apt...

You're free to do so, but don't you want to know what went wrong, so you can prevent it from happening again?

You can make backups of your system and of your documents, but there's no magical tool...

You mentioned your Ubuntu 18.something live disk. Both 18.04 and 18.10 are dead, but for emergency use of a live disk this is acceptable.

All commands you ran gave you information about the...

I've got no experience with steam or games stored on a secondary hard drive, so can't help with that, but I may be able to give you some leads.

/dev/sda1 and similar things are devices (dev stands...

As ajgreeny writes above, sudoedit is the preferred way to edit files with root permission. It copies the file to a temporary location, runs the text editor with normal permissions, then copies the...

Maybe this will give some lead:
systemd-analyze blame
Also, what kind of harddrive have you got? On a modern SDD, you should be able to boot faster than that, but if your Ubuntu is installed on a...
