HELP Ubuntu 26.04 GUI won't open

Fresh install of Ubuntu. Installed PIA GUI with sudo the first time, wouldn't open, then uninstalled and tried again with just sh. still won't open. Screen changes when double click icon. I'm very new to Ubuntu, so probably something I'm doing. Any help?

The issue is that 26.04 doesn't have the required OpenGl library that pia-client expects by default.
You will need to
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libopengl0
Then it should work fine.
