This has been broken since 2019. I’m running Ubuntu 20.04 with the 5.11 kernel and the 460/465 drivers and all these problems are still happening.
And also, yes, I expect a 5 year old operating system to still work. Windows 10 does and it came out in 2015. These are professional tools for my fucking job.

but the windows 10 you run in 2021 is super different from the windows 10 you installed in 2015, there are ton of (sometimes fairly breaking) updates :

running an up-to-date win10 is basically equivalent to updating to every ubuntu release, LTS or not. Kernel is different, libc is different, system APIs implementations are different, everything is updated every few months - even the start menu pretty much changes all the time.

Do they not port the HWE to older LTS releases?
I mean, using ubuntu 18.04 means using ~4/5 years old software which only gets "security updates" (not even patch updates, e.g. they use a Qt LTS from 2017 and don't even update the patch version, it's still 5.9.5 while Qt's is 5.9.9), why would you expect things to work correctly with a 1 year old graphics card. On archlinux wayland with an nvidia card works pretty much fine.
