(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.
Please, don't recommend Ubuntu. It actively gets in your way, even as a new user. Something like https://distrochooser.de/ could help OP figure out what distro works best for them.
I get that people don't like snaps, but how is Ubuntu "actively" getting in anyone's way?
With snaps and their weird approach to software management in general. I don't have any idea which mainstream distro with KDE I could recommend since Mint doesn't offer an official spin and Fedora doesn't have the same LTS release cycle as Ubuntu.
So I'm kind of at a loss here, as there don't seem to be sensible beginner distros anymore.
Codecs
That's U.S. patent law actively getting in your way, not the distros.
I assume this means "Ubuntu is known to distribute codecs that don't work well" but since you gave me practically nothing that's purely an assumption
I was recommended opensuse first lol. Good thing I found the solution.
