My new RPi 5 16 GB seems to work fine in RPi OS. But when I start Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, I encounter the following problems:
- The App center shows an empty window upon start and freezes the computer completely requiring a hard shutdown.
- Firefox and Chromium (snap installations) do not open properly. I just obtain heavily pixelated screens (mostly orange).
Ubuntu and these programs run perfectly on my RPi 5 8GB. I am now afraid this could be related to a defective hardware of my new RPi 5 16 GB, as I wonder why nobody else reported this so far.
Could this be related to a hardware defect?
What would be an explanation why this is working on the 8 GB RPi 5 but not on the 16 GB RPi 5. I thought both systems are identical except RAM size?
