Gnome desktop goes complete blue and nothing is readable on login

in flag

I tried installing ubuntu 22.04 on my old Lenovo N23 which previously ran Win 10 slow, but fine.

When I click "Try Ubuntu", all of the desktop goes completely blue where all the windows go completely black and nothing is readable. I decided to tackle this by trying out Ubuntu Mate, it works fine but as a tablet/touch device doesn't offer the same interface, and installed gnome-desktop manually using taskel, only to encounter the exact same issue.

I tried running the gnome-desktop on both, weyland and xorg. I can switch using the login screen back and forth, but once I login using gnome, I have to restart to be see everything properly again.

logged into gnome desktop

what terminal is looking like

I do not know what exactly is causing the issue, but out of curiosity I opened the device and installed an m.2 drive, after that the installation worked perfectly.

The mmc might be corrupt or something, which still doesn't explain why Mate works perfectly and Ubuntu vanilla doesn't; I hope somebody is able to shed some light on it in the future.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
