kubuntu 15.10, nvidia gtx970 problems and other fun!

so its been years since i have used linux, but i finally built a beefy computer so i decided to see how it handled linux. For the most part im loving it except for a few minor issues. First of all the video card, its the msi nvidia gtx 970 gaming card, and whenever i install the nvidia drivers all the all the text gets super tiny. Just the text though, everything else seems to stay the same size. The only way i have been able to fix it is to do a fresh install, so im here on my third time though. And it seems to be crashing on my a lot. After fidgeting around for a few hours i finally got it to connect to my google account so instant message my friends, but it wont let me voice chat or video call anyone, and when i try to go into the messenger setting and then into googles hangout setting, it crashes every time. i guess thats all for now. if anyone needs any more details let me know and i will be glad to provide them, just wondeing if all of this is normal or not
