I know Mint is based on LTS Ubuntu and is generally a major version behind. I'm wondering if I should install Ubuntu on top of Mint and see if it works any better.

I finally restored the boot loader partition, which then worked, so I guess the update hosed the bootloader or grub. I finally restored my system partition from the backup. I tried downgrading back to the 5.0 (and the 4.15) kernel, neither worked. Fortunately I used clonezilla to backup first.Īfter the update, Mint froze at the logo when rebooting. One of the suggestions was to update the system, as the ISO Installed still had the 5.0 kernel, while the most recent is 5.4. I am suspicious that it broke when I started experimenting with different music player apps, all of which have trouble importing my iTunes library (mostly of CDs I ripped myself, so not encrypted). It was working when I originally installed Mint. I put Mint 19.3 on it, and it mostly works, except the microphone doesn't work.
