apologies after checking M 20 is now supported till 2925 M19.3 Till 2923 but at least you still have time to sort yourself out
Thanks for the heads up.Just so you know, you will need to upgrade eventually. That's supported until 2023. The newer version is supported until 2025.
See: https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php
You've got plenty of time to make that move.

OffAlso, should I keep "secure boot" on or off?
Those are the the drivers for your firmware and graphics card they should already be installed, try installing the following.Okay.
I did the "sudo apt reinstall linux-image-5.4.0-72-generic" and it said it reinstalled.
At the end it had this:
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125a-3.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168fp-3.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_04.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/glk_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/icl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
I'm not sure if that is anything causing this issue. I don't know what it means.
I went ahead and shut the computer down after all that. When I turned it back on it showed the Dell logo, went to a black screen temporarily, then froze on the Dell logo. So same issue there. I then had to power down again by holding the power button for a few seconds. Turned it back on and it went to the menu screen where I could get in on the 5.4.-0-32 generic.
sudo apt install linux-firmware linux-modules-extra

I wasn't planning to, but I ended up upgrading to 20.1. It is working great so far. No issues to report.
