i cant afford a mac 1 and windows is harder to use since i dont have a packgage manager

[xcluse]

you could install an package manager or do an hackintosh

Since you can get to a terminal, whats the output of "systemctl status gdm"

Could be about gpu drivers not loading because secure boot is on in bios.
