It was originally using the Xorg nouveau driver but as it had problems I
switched to the Nvidia, and I have the same problems.

A data point: I'm using an HP Envy 17 laptop, older Intel i7 processor,
and according to the "Software & Updates" panel I'm using the X.Org X
server with the Noveau display driver.
Nvidia hardware is "GeForce 940M".
No problems.
I'm not doing anything really complex, the usual home stuff but no
gaming (D&D using VTT and discord, but nothing very taxing to the system).
Installation was from the DVD, nothing other than the usual items asked
for during the installation.

I bought an Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop, with Intel Core i5 CPU and
Nvidia GPU.
It came with Windows 10. I booted from USB to live Ubuntu Studio 20.04
and installed it after repartitioning.
I can boot into Ubuntu Studio, but after a few minutes, everything
except the mouse freezes. I can move the mouse around, but not click
on anything, not drag anything. Key presses do nothing. I could press
CTRL ALT F1 for a terminal and do things there, but since I updated
the kernel to 5.8.0-23-lowlatency, even that no longer works after
booting.
I would really like to get Ubuntu Studio working on this laptop, as
Windows 10 sucks. I can revert it all back to just Windows 10 if
necessary, but would rather use Linux.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Some websites suggest the graphics driver. I have the Nvidia
proprietary driver installed and selected, originally the Xorg-nouveau
driver was in use, but I removed this as some say it is buggy.
