It's at least easy to run live from USB, and see if anything pops out. Ed: i would probably go straight for 20.04 on a fresh install - but heed sibling comment

It's at least easy to run live from USB, and see if anything pops out. Ed: i would probably go straight for 20.04 on a fresh install - but heed sibling comment about nvidia drivers. Might run fine on open source drivers until proprietary ones gets an update (fine, but slow).
