Hi, yesterday I downloaded Zorin, and today I wanted to test games on Steam (specifically Slime Rancher and TF2). Both of these games were lagging a lot, and when I looked at how much CPU it was using, it was around 100 percent. I have a Zorin 17 my CPU is Amd Ryzen 5 3600 6core I have 16gb ram and my GPU is nvidia geforce gtx 1650 Super.
Have you checked Steam Proton Database how people are running it at best? Note a 1650 is not super as it says when it comes to performance.
I checked it on both games, and even though there weren't any reviews for Zorin, people were saying it was running fine with similar PC specs.
Okay.
Let's see;
sudo apt install inxi
inxi -GaIt wrote this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Command 'inxi' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install inxi. When i typed this it wrote this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Run,
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo install inxi
hit tab key and press enter.
It's microsoft fonts you have choosen to install at some point.

Try 'install --help' for more information.
what should i do now?
sudo apt install inxi
inxi -Ga
okay i wrote the command what now?
Can you post the output of the last command? It will tell the state of the card and drivers etc.
The Nvidia driver isn't install on your system, that's why it's slow.
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
When done reboot.
OK i rebooted but now i got 2 problems.
Colors on my screen are still switched and my resolution is on 800x600 and i cant change it.
Give me the output of inxi -Ga one more time.
The color thing can be changed in Settings --> color
Hmm... the driver didn't get loaded even though it's installed. Try see if the driver 550 will load
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550
sudo rebootBy the way do your card have an integrated video card like intel?
