what does this have to do with a cartoon man sitting on the wheel of a bicycle?

Try running uname -r to see if your kernel version is below 5.17. This card only got support after that version.

No.

Manjaro, I get it. But Mint is excellent if you want a stable Ubuntu experience without Ubuntu Pro ads in the fucking terminal and a slow as shit proprietary package manager, integrated right into your system package manager.

He’s talking about Putin I think.

Not sure really since I don’t have an Nvidia card. Pop! OS and Nobara are just general recommendations I found on the internet.

Though if you have an Nvidia card you should install Pop! OS or Nobara Linux since they have an Nvidia ISO so you won’t need to struggle with installing them later on.

Probably Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com) will be the best experience for you. If you have newer hardware or you’re not sure scroll down to the bottom on the download page and download the “EDGE” iso since it has newer software than the default versions and more hardware support. If you have older hardware, you can probably install the Cinnamon iso too but if that doesn’t work install the XFCE iso. Finally flash it onto a USB drive with https://etcher.io/ and boot into it, testing if some things work like audio and video. Software like VSCode etc. are already on the software manager so you won’t have much trouble with writing JS.

Hostinger is pretty cheap I think.

Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry about that.
