Is it possible that some hardware cannot support the Ubuntu 18.04? I have the following specs in my PC, and I was told that the installation of Ubuntu 18.04 failed because the hardware doesn't support this version, but it did not give errors when Ubuntu 20.04 was installed.

  • TR Pro 3955WX 3.9G 16C
  • 4x32GB DDR4 3200 RDIMM
  • 2x 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe3x4 TLC OP
  • 2x 10TB HDD
  • 1x Quadro RTX4000 8GB 3DP+VL(LE)

The How to Install Nvidia Quadro 4000 Ubuntu 18.04 Driver tutorial that you linked to in your comment is already not up-to-date for Ubuntu 18.04, so I think it can be improved a little bit. The nvidia-driver-465 package has already been added to the default Ubuntu 18.04 repositories. To install this driver package in Ubuntu 18.04 open the terminal and type:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-465 nvidia-settings
sudo reboot

In Ubuntu 20.04 and later, run these commands instead.

sudo apt update
sudo ubuntu-drivers install 
sudo reboot

The install option of ubuntu-drivers installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies.
