Heyo, I'm all new to Kubuntu and Linux. I installed Kubuntu (minimal) on my pc just a few days ago, and it did not take long before I ran into some issues:
(1) My monitor will freeze or go blank, and I cannot seem to figure out what the problem is; thus, I end up doing a reboot every time. I think it might be because of my drivers
(2) I tried to follow some instructions on updating my drivers (because I currently use the Nouveau display driver,) but I ended up with a blank screen, and again I could not for the life of me fix it, nor return to the original driver. No reboot could sort it out, so I decided to reinstall Kubuntu.. I am now terrified of touching any of the drivers..
(3) Last thing, I cannot seem to properly install or launch the Waterfox web browser. I did install it by the use of the terminal, but I keep getting an error when I try to launch it..
I really want to like Kubuntu, because I can see how it's better than Windows OS, but it's tiring when you are new to it all and you don't know what youre doing..
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks
