Just purchased a ThinkPad E585 with Ryzen 2700U because the nVidia card in my ancient laptop is no longer supported. Worked fine with Ubuntu 16.04 and then one day I do an "apt-get update" and hit this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1737750 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-dr...
