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.

Are your video card and monitor working properly on linux? You getting the resolution you should?
Very old Toshiba laptop with a very old Nvidia gpu GT 525M running proprietary drivers connected to a 1080p monitor and yes it is running at 1080p
I don't know. This sounds like some strange thing, never happened to me and I deal a lot with old computers... Maybe try another distro?
I have always wanted to try opensuse so we will see
Fedora atomic versions are great IMHO. Or mx linux or debian if you are looking for something more normal
Endeavour is is also cool if you update frequently through CLI
TBH I'm just following https://distrochooser.de/ #1 recommendation, I want something that works best for me, not willing to spend any more time in testing new things that might be good, if it is good then I will let the community try them 1st, I will be the last to jump in
