That's why he's suggesting it. You'll likely spend anywhere from several hours to several days trying to track down the cause of the issue by sticking with Ubuntu, versus ~20 minutes plus however long it takes to back up and restore your data on a distribution that doesn't have these issues. Ubuntu is famous for having really dumb problems like this, so even if you do successfully fix the issue, another one will pop up later on thanks to the developers' insistence on doing weird shit that nobody asked for. Of course, the fanboys will likely come out of the woodwork to tell me how this is a skill issue or whatever, but I'm speaking as someone who used Ubuntu almost exclusively from 2006-2020. After switching to Fedora, I've been much happier. Debian is also a good low-friction option if you don't have brand-new hardware.
