Cinnamon has crashed. You are currently running in fallback mode
by Peik from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JRZK)
I recently installed the newest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon and every time I boot I get a message like this: Cinnamon has crashed. You are currently running in fallback mode. My display is a little glitchy and video software like zoom doesn't work (but I can watch videos with youtube, etc.), but everything else seems to be working fine. This happened after I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that or not. I have SecureBoot disabled and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers. Here is the information for my machine:
