mc flag

Installing Ubuntu LTS offline via usb, and get stopped at Processing triggers for dbus (1.12.16-2ubuntu2.1) for a long period of time.

If I run the installer online, I seem to get stuck at the message subiquity/late/run.

I've let it run for a while in both scenarios, I don't think I am being impatient because nothing is happening.

Alt+tabbing issue with games

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with nvidia driver 495 on a 750Ti card.

Any steam game that I launch has the same issue - I can alt+tab, but cannot control my cursor. I can move it around, but nothing is clickable, seems to just hang/stuck. It's the same from native games, all the way to proton games.

Anyone?

which one do you recommend to install: ubuntu 20.04.3 or ubuntu 21.10

I know in general the answer is 20.04.3 certainly.

but i have purchased a new laptop equipped with 11th gen Intel core i3 CPU and uefi boot. so new hardware support is important for me. also i will upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 as soon as its release so it is important for me to install an Ubuntu version which will make upgrading simpler in coming months.
