One question, I have a cd which always ran with ubunto 16:04 I want to have it again. Because 18th is garbage. But the cd will not be read anymore. What can I do to make it back to 16.04? Is a laptop.

I would not do an operating system from a CD / DVD. Is slow and loud. Take a USB stick. For Ubuntu eigtl. 4GB would have to be enough. (Attention, everything on the stick will be deleted!)
Download the 16.04 ISO file http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ (you probably want the 64-bit desktop image).
Connect the USB stick.
With the program "Startmedienersteller" or Etcher https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/ preinstalled under Ubuntu 18.04 you can then write the ISO file to the USB stick.
With that you can then install Ubuntu 16.04 on your laptop.
Alternatively, you can eg with the program Brasero (via the software center or load with sudo apt install -y brasero over the terminal), you can write the ISO file on a blank DVD, if you prefer.
It is not clear why 18 should be garbage. Because it can't read the (music / games) CD? If nothing else bothers you, would it perhaps be a measure to copy the contents of the CD from another computer to a USB stick?
Let's see if the phenomenon also occurs with other CD's. Then it could also be on your drive.
If you describe a USB flash drive or a DVD with the ISO of Ubuntu 16.04, you can also boot your laptop and install the old Linux. Must shut down the Internet during the installation, so he does not update in the background.
Think of a back-up of your home directory on a volume of your trust.
I got it:-)
The programs jerk and I can no longer make video editing. And he was very slow. Got it
