Terrible graphical glitches on ASUS F3JC
I installed Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS on my ASUS F3JC laptop.
The problem is that there's a lot of annoying graphical glitches, like for example yellow lines all around the desktop.
I think it's because something is wrong with Nouveau driver but I don't know how to fix it. Please, what can you suggest?
Here's system info by the way:
