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.

Hello- I’m completely new to Linux and have just completed my first installation. Everything is working, but my first challenge is that only one of my monitors has an image, and it’s stuck in 640x480 instead of 3440x1920.

I installed openSUSE Leap 15.6 with KDE plasma. Processor is a Ryzen 3700x with an NVIDIA 4090 GPU.

I tried to troubleshoot as best as I could, but didn’t get very far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds as if you haven't installed or configured the Nvidia drivers yet.

That should help.
