Hey, thanks.
The thing is... everything worked just fine before I reinstalled the same version of Ubuntu to have a clean system again.
I've since then reinstalled it multiple times but the issue is still there.
But to actually answer you question: no, I have not tried any other desktop environment or other distributions yet.
Reason being - I want it to be as standard as possible which I assume is what 90% of users use and therefore making testing as good as possible.
