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.

    OP is running on bare metal. They used the VM for testing and have now moved on from that

      It is? I didn’t understood that, he said was using the KDE based distro in VM tests.

        based on some VM tests

        Personally, this makes it seem like they have already done tests in a VM. OP would need to clarify for us though.

          Yeah, the way it is phrased is not clear, I can see how you understood that too
