(solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly
(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.

For OP and other people with this issue, make sure you set
media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabledto true inabout:configin firefox. Unless you do that, hardware video acceleration often wont be used.I've always been curious why this isn't enabled by default on Firefox on Linux, do you know why that's the case?
It brakes some things. I tried to enable it on my main desktop, but some site were not working properly, I don't remember exactly what was the problem, but for me, with a decent desktop CPU, everything was better without it. On my low end laptop it helped a lot with intel graphics. It depends on your hardware, and they bet on the safe side.
I don't think that's gonna work because this is a thing that he needs
TIL
I didn't have it set to true but I also never noticed any problem
