Previously, I have updated the firmware several times, so when I saw there's a new update, I clicked the "Update" button without too much thoughts.
Yes, I got trouble this time. I got a black screen while the system is not dead. I can log into the system by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F2, no gui, but I can do something to fix it. It is good enough.
I searched on my cellphone to try find something. And the following article helped me.
System76 login-loop-pop
In my case, I guess that the root cause could be the nvidia driver, so I followed the [Reinstall NVIDIA Driver] section in that article and it did save my life.
# remove current driver
sudo apt purge ~nnvidia
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean
# reinstall it
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia
In case someone else got trapped into the same situation, I wrote my solution here and hope it helps.
By my recommendation, my new workmate He (贺) moved to Ubuntu from windows, and he was annoyed of one thing: cannot input Chinese. And I have to google again to find out the answer. This is why I wrote this list for him like people and myself.
sudo apt install fcitx fcitx-rime
im-config # and select fcitx as the input engine
fcitx-configtool # > Add input method, remember to tick off `Only Show Current Language`
At the server end
choose a server as the nfs-server, do things below in root role
dnf -y install nfs-utils
mkdir /mnt/nfs-share
chown -R nobody /mnt/nfs-share/
vim /etc/exports
add a line
/mnt/nfs-share 192.168.178.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,all_squash)
save and exit
systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-server
At the client end
dnf -y install nfs-utils
mkdir /mnt/nfs-local
chown -R nobody /mnt/nfs-local/
vim /etc/hosts
add a line, replace 192.168.xxx.yyy to the IP addr of your NFS server
nfs-server 192.168.xxx.yyy
vim /etc/fstab
add a line
nfs-server:/mnt/nfs-share /mnt/nfs-local nfs defaults 0 0
save and exit
mount -a # to confirm what you have done is right
other utils:
You could use showmount -e 192.168.xxx.yyy to get a share list from the nfs server.
The biggest problem you faced is actually the following one

and the article above answers the question very well.
