Looks like a graphics driver issue. Are you using the proprietary Nvidia drivers or Nouveau?

Whats nouveau?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

unofficial open source nvidia drivers

That sounds cool, gotta look into that

You don't want to unless you're just planning on running a web browser or word processor or something, they're significantly buggier and massively slower than the proprietary driver, and especially so on newer cards.

Oh, is there any open source alternative?

That IS the open source alternative
