Bug Description

Lubuntu seems to crash on my computer (a Lenovo Ideapad 510 running with an Intel Core i5 CPU 7th Gen and a NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics card) on a regular basis. Just started using Linux yesterday, so there is quite a high chance I'm doing something wrong. I am encountering issues like this while using the terminal, and the problems seems to excacerbate when I try to run installation commands or try to update programs. I have heard Ubuntu is buggy, especially with a NVIDIA Graphics Card, but I never would've thought it'd be this buggy and difficult to use. Perhaps it's time to switch to Debian or Mint?
