As Nvidia driver can not work properly with kernel 5.4, I have to downgrade my hwe kernel on Ubuntu 18.04 to kernel 5.3 by editing the file /etc/default/grub and do upgrade-grub. However, after I reboot with kernel 5.3, the system freeze at the DELL logo screen (I am using a Dell workstation with dual system, windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04).
Does anyone know how to deal with this kind of problem? Any help would be highly appreciated!

if your system freezes at the DELL logo, that is presumably before the bootloader (grub) even gets to load your kernel, i.e. you might have misconfigured your grub.
2Eventually, I installed nvidia-driver-440 instead of 435, and the Nvidia driver vs kernel version issue can be finally settled without the need to downgrade the kernel version.
