I don't think it's really fair to ask us to recall every previous
message and info that was in it! :-(

I've gone digging and found your previous message. It looks like you
have the low-end model in that series, with a Celeron chip and Intel
on-board graphics. Is that right?

Have you installed any optional drivers or microcode? If not, you
should do that.

Open "software & updates". Click the "additional drivers" tab. Enable
any additional options that you can. Reboot.

I also do not know if you are running GNOME on X.11 or on Wayland. It
is a choice on the login screen. I think X.11 is the default but I
don't run GNOME myself. Try Wayland instead of X.org.

And as I always say, ensure that you are on the latest system firmware
for your machine.
