Any particular Ubuntu that suits the best?
Is Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS ok?
Awesome Donkey:
Any of the Ubuntu 24.10 flavors would suffice. It comes down to what your desktop environment of choice is (GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, etc.). Of course make sure you're using the X11 session as running MC with Wayland and XWayland may present other issues, especially if you're wanting to use KDE Plasma, theater view potentially, etc.

"The latest version of the Ubuntu operating system for desktop PCs and laptops, Ubuntu 24.10 comes with nine months of security and maintenance updates, until July 2025."
Only 9 months? Isn't this a bummer?
Sorry to ask but what is that "Of course make sure you're using the X11 session as running MC with Wayland"?
JimH:
The problem may not be Debian. Try starting in Standard View (ctrl-1) outside Theater View.
I do think that Zybex is right about a possible hardware issue. Can you get to the bios?

OK. Yes, I'm in the BIOS right now. What do you want me to do please?
P.S. right now I cannot switch to Standard View because MC starts automatically after booting and in Theater View and my PC freezes immediately.
