No, it was the secure boot setting. Almost everything worked well enough with it off. However, not well enough for me not to go back to windows. Oh well, maybe in another 10 years.
Maybe I wouldn't have had any problems if I tried a more stable distro like Debian. I guess it all depends on what you want to use your PC for and if you like to tinker.
I was recommended opensuse first lol. Good thing I found the solution.
I have installed zorin on another pc and it worked okay, but I wanted to try kde for the customization as well. I will probably try fedora kionite next and if that doesn't work i don't know.
(solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly
I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06 driver.
To be honest I am happy using Windows 10 but I wanted to try Linux again because of the privacy and security, but there always seems to be something whenever I try to use linux. Should I keep using Windows or try a different distro?
My specs:
1080ti, ryzen 2600, msi b450 tomahawk.
Update: It was the secure boot setting. Nvidia drivers don't work with it on I guess. Thanks for all the other information though, more to look into.
I just found out that UBO fixed it, but who knows how long that will last.
Wait, I didn't even realize that they fixed it already. I still like FreeTube though so I will probably import all my subs.
That makes sense. I guess my family will have to keep blocking the annoying youtube popup with ubo.
Need help with using FreeTube.
So far I am really liking FreeTune as an alternative to UBO. However, my family really hates it. One of the reasons for this is because it doesn't have a recommended vidoes section. Is it possible to download an addon for that, or is there an alternative to FreeTube that works more like YouTune?
Another thing that I can't seem to find a solution for is that when you use an external player from FreeTube, some age restricted videos won't play on the external player. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.
