Zorin OS does not return after updating the system

Let's cross all our fingers and toes...
And plan an yet another reinstall LOL

For sure! : ) Reinstalling multiple times is the least of the problems. Glad I still have internet. After the data allowance ends, the connection is very slow and I have to wake up very early (or in the middle of the night) to do this kind of thing. I live on a farm far from the city, here there is only internet via satellite. : )

@Aravisian Do you think this driver (390) works better than "Nouveau"?

I wouldn't know, actually. The best way to find out would be fore the user with that hardware to test it.

Maybe the update will take a little longer than I thought. I think my fast internet is gone. But once It is done, I'll get back to you. Thanks a lot for the help. : ) @Aravisian @Elegant_Emperor

@Aravisian @Elegant_Emperor You will not believe the same problem again. I'm not going to lie, I'm already thinking about installing another distro, do you believe it? Zorin OS for me is unique, and truly the best experience I've ever had. But being without my main machine for so long has been difficult. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Is this AMD graphics? At this time, I no longer remember...

That is right... Nvidia.
Ok after installing Zorin, perform this action to lock in the Boot of the earlier kernel:

Then do your updates.
Reboot and test.
If the above works - it means it was the kernel and the kernel is locked in, preventing that issue.
If it does not work, then it is likely the Nvidia driver.

I would like to thank you for your attention. @Aravisian @Elegant_Emperor And I would like to say that I have already solved the problem. It didn't go the way I would have liked, installing Zorin. But I couldn't wait any longer, it had been a long time without my main machine. I found it strange that this happened. This same machine ran Zorin without any problems before this installation. The problem only happened after updating and installing the updates. Even after switching server to main server. And even having a different output, but after restarting the same problem happened. I had already changed the video card driver too. I couldn't wait any longer. Maybe I will try again in the future. Maybe with another machine, but at the moment I have a lot of work to do and I couldn't spend that much time without my main computer. Thanks a lot for the help. : )

There are many good choices available... Mint, Devuan, MX-Linux, Pop_OS... it's a long list.
What matters most is that your machine is up and running. :wink:

I was happy to see your interest in helping me. @Aravisian In a way it renewed my hope in people. I think it's beautiful to see people happy with a linux distro come together in communities, and try to help each other. Thanks so much again for all the support. PS: I have installed Fedora. : )

I had an issue with Zorin 15 that was based on Ubuntu 18.04 - minimum graphics card was a GT730 (I had a GT720 card) so I upgraded to GT1030 - no issues.
Good luck with Fedora - one distro I cannot bear to use! :wink:
