Issue: In my laptop, Windows has an issue with rebooting. After clicking reboot, it immediately runs into blank screen.   However, rebooting works perfectly fine within Ubuntu.  Thus, I wanted to set Ubuntu as First preference instead of Windows.     Fix:  # went to boot manager and changed order of OS anu @laptop:~$ sudo efibootmgr [sudo] password for anu: BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0004,0001,0003,9999 Boot0004* Windows Boot Manager......... Boot0001* Ubuntu........ Boot0003* Solid State Disk........ Boot9999* USB Drive (UEFI)............ anu@laptop:~ sudo efibootmgr 0001,0004,0003,9999   Attempts: Turning off Fast Startup Setting Windows as default option in Ubuntu GRUB Giving Windows first preference in Startup But it did not work.  Thus, I have postponed this issue until I have time to work on it again.  And I set Ubuntu as the first preference in BIOS, so it will automatically prefer Ubuntu.

I noticed that the usual touchpad gestures such as back button swipe was not working.  Fix: 1. Log out. 2. At corner left there is an option that says      - Ubuntu on Xorg     -  Ubuntu on Wayland  ✅  3. Click on Ubuntu on Wayland and log in again.    Reason: There are no touchpad gestures on X11.. Switch to Wayland to enable touchpad gestures.    Notes: Xorg and Wayland are display systems used by Ubuntu.  Xorg is the older display system. It is very stable and compatible, but has limited touchpad gestures.. Wayland is the modern replacement for Xorg. It has better performance and security, and is gesture friendly.
