Hi I’m so sorry I don’t mean to be a bother or force anyone into unpaid support, but I’m having a full meltdown and if I can’t fix my system I’m screwed. I really thought I was doing it right and installing Pop to my second D drive to leave windows alone but somehow it completely broke Windows and I can load into that, only Pop! And unfortunately Pop! I guess isn’t really my GPU (Nvidia 1080ti I think) so on my 4k monitor everything is blown up and the wrong aspect ratio, cutting off the bottoms of windows I Pop! so I can’t even navigate this system that I’m 100% entirely unfamiliar with. I don’t even care about getting windows back at this point if I can get Pop! usable, I just need a usable machine. I’ve tried some terminal stuff I’ve read online already but nothing has worked and I’m afraid to do the purge ~nnvidia command because it said it might turn my screen black and if I can’t even get into Pop! then I’m screwed. I don’t even know what help I need but I desperately need help
Edit:
I’m too stupid for this. I don’t understand what anyone is saying, nothing is working. I don’t know what to do. I need to stay away for a few because if I don’t I’m going to kill myself. I’m very sorry and I appreciate everyone’s help, I wish I that I was smarter and I wish that I was stronger.
Edit 2:
Hey, friend, I believe I was the first one to reply to your original post.
I’m glad you got your system into a working condition.
I wanted to suggest something that I used to hear suggested a lot but don’t hear much anymore: perhaps you should get a cheap, second-hand laptop just to use for experimenting with Linux before you try installing it on your main system again? I know it worked for me when I first started using Linux, circa 2013.
Personally I like MX Linux with KDE. It’s been the most stable OS I’ve used.
My husband (and by extension me, since I am kinda his tech support sometimes) uses Linux Mint, and he’s found it to be stable. It’s based on Ubuntu, the most popular distro, so it’s easy to find support.
Good luck!
