From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They said they were on Pop_OS, I'm 99% sure they're preinstalled

It seems my comment didn't send but I plugged the HDMI cable to another port on the monitor and it got rid of the big glitches, however a small portion of them still remains. My GPU seems to be connected correctly as well and these glitches are not present in Windows. I'm updating the OS as we speak I'll see if anything changes

the thing you said makes sense because the rips can't be seen in an obs recording
Is that all?
Coming from Windows, where you should either nuke the install or use DDU in safe mode when changing vendors, for smooth sailing to paradise.

Yeah I figured.
I'm running a nvidia card on my main rig which runs Linux.
I'm in the thought process of acquiring an AMD Card, so my question was more of a doubt when uninstalling the nvidia drivers so nothing (dependencies etc) is left on the system. Maybe you don't have to baby Linux as windows need. I'm new here by the way ;)
Thus my reflection about Windows, where's uninstalling the drivers, don't get rid of all the junk unless you jump through hoops that I mentioned above. Otherwise you might get bit by conflicts.
