Fair. I have seen problems where one version of Ubuntu can drive a
monitor successfully over (in my case, VGA -> 3 x BNC) connections,
but a later version of the same distro could not. It's rare but not
impossible.

With VGA -> VGA it got EDID information, with BNC connectors it didn't
and fell back to 640*480. The _only_ difference was the cable. I had
to replace the cable; there was no way to force X.org to particular
settings without info being received from the screen.

GNOME, then.

If you do not know then I guess you do not know if you were running
X.org or Wayland? :-(

I really doubt it.

You can try starting with Wayland instead:

Also...

If you manually bring up your Ethernet connection, then you can
manually do a full upgrade as follows:

sudo -s
apt update
apt full-upgrade -y
apt autoremove -y
apt purge
apt clean

If you do not have the HWE stack installed, you can install it:

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04
