I have been using Ubuntu 20.04 for couple of months and suddenly my laptop started freezing randomly to the point it is a problem to normal usage. I have a dual boot with windows as the other OS and it works with no freezing problems. I tried to figure out what was wrong.
I found that the logs of the last boot can be accessed by the command
sudo journalctl -b -1 -e
The log shows that my wifi driver is having issues doing authentication on the network. Here is the dump of the relevant part.

So the next thing I tried was changing the version of kernel. I tried couple of different version from the latest ones to the old ones, but the problem still persisted. Next I downgraded to ubuntu 18.04 with a clean install and the problem still persists.
Should I try to update the wifi driver?
