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.

Hej, this is difficult to troubleshoot from the information you shared. If you take a screenshot, you can copy/paste it into a Lemmy comment, perhaps posting screenshots would help describe the problem.
My first instict would be to navigate around the system like you would install a window manager. Are you using Wayland are you using x11? Use tools links xrandr and wlr-randr. Are you using a AMD, Intel or Nvidia graphics card? Does the kernel support that graphics card?
Maybe try out a window manager to see if it is the GNOME window manager or if it is the distribution
