I've tried switching to Linux several times now, and I'm honestly at my wits' end. I'm using Ubuntu, which is supposed to be beginner-friendly, but I'm encountering a lot of problems. Under X11, things felt decent, but my fonts just wouldn't load properly, and I couldn't get 240 FPS. Then I switched to Wayland, and while I finally got the 240 FPS, my fonts still weren't great. On top of that, non-bundled apps crash or just don't work right at all. Also, my mouse's middle button seems to mess things up, leading to some weird issues. The main reason I'm sticking with Linux is that its native features respond instantly, unlike Windows where everything feels sluggish. I've searched for fixes, but nothing has worked yet. I'm really looking for help to either fix X11 or Wayland so I can get everything running smoothly. By the way, I'm using an NVIDIA GPU, just in case that helps!

Don't forget to install the proprietary NVIDIA driver. In Ubuntu, you can usually find that in the Driver Manager. And honestly, consider trying Linux Mint; it's often a smoother experience for newcomers than Ubuntu, especially if you're just getting started. For gaming, however, Fedora with KDE might suit you better!
Dude, your descriptions are a bit all over the place. It's hard to troubleshoot with phrases like 'shits itself.' Try to stick to clear issues one at a time—what exactly happens when your apps crash? Clear and precise descriptions are key for us to help you out!
Exactly! A clearer description of the issues can make troubleshooting much easier. Let's help this user out! They need to know what to focus on.
Sounds like you might need to check a few things. If you're using Wayland, you might want to try a distro like Fedora, which has Wayland by default. For Ubuntu, ensure you've installed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers—they really make a difference! Also, when you mention 'fonts refused to load,' could you clarify what that means? Are you seeing no text at all? It might indicate a deeper issue with your hard drive or file system. As for your apps crashing, it would help to know which ones they are and what errors you're encountering.
I totally agree! If you can share specific error messages or screenshots, it would really help narrow down the issues you're facing. Let’s work together to fix this!
