Yeah sounds like missing drivers, pretty sure the latest nvidia driver is 580.xx but Mint might have an older version that’s stable.

IIRC you should be able to install the drivers with the ‘Driver manager’ program

It’s mostly the account name and computer name, something like

user@computer $

OP might have a good reason (e.g network setup different/real name visible) or is just security/privacy conscious, but you’d be unlikely to dox yourself from a screenshot like this if you’re not a power user.

Mint is quite a friendly distro, definitely a great first choice and one I’d recommend. However if you find it not to your liking but still want to try Linux; fedora is another good no nonsense distro that would be suitable for you.

PBRT, Writing my own emulators, engines and games made me appreciate computer science so much so that I found webdev to be monotonous and boring enough to leave the industry.
