Well guys! I did it! Linux mint on my desktop! Finally! Everything seemed like it was going swimmingly save for some minor issues. But then I ran into one: I did use stability matrix to make furry porn (very bad furry porn, don’t ask) but when I tried to run it, it kept telling me it had issues with python and cuda and other stuff. I wondered if the problem was just python libraries or my nvidia drivers. I did manage to get a workaround, but it simply wouldn’t use my GPU… in fact, I think I am having a super hard time seeing if I am even using it properly.

Speaking of drivers I tried to install the latest one, but that caused a problem. I use multiple monitors (because of course I do). Three in fact, but only one ended up working with the other two entirely unrecognized. And I still wasn’t able to use my GPU to get stability matrix (or even stability forge without that) and my games still can’t run on max graphics settings. I’ve been looking around for some help on this and trying to work on it all day, with limited success. It is basically the only major thing going wrong with my transition from windows to linux.

Any help here?

      I went on the default driver manager and I selected the latest one there. It was Nvidia-driver-575-open. But that gave me issues and didn’t allow me to use all 3 of my monitors. The one that it says s selected now is the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.

      I tried to go directly to Nvidia’s site, but I ran into some issues that it did say X server was running, then I had to go on… man, I don’t remember what that was one called, it asked for an admin username… and was it the one I chose at the very beginning? the password I am using didn’t workout for that. It is kinda weird. I’m really needing to learn a lot to get this to work properly. It’s exciting, but I’ll be very happy once it is over.
