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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
