A Noob here to python.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit) and I cant get Kivy to install properly for python3. I have tried (https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-linux.html) the installation process, but it doesn't pick up.
I wonder if I should try to install it via a .whl package (any source)? Please help, thanks!

Kivy - Multimedia / Multitouch framework in Python (Python 3) (python3-kivy) is in the default repositories in Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 18.10, 19.10 and 20.04. To install it, open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install python3-kivy
This package contains the Python 3 compatible version of the library. There is also another Python 2 compatible version of the library named python-kivy.
python3-kivy has been dropped from the default repositories in Ubuntu 19.04 because of a software bug that also affects python3-kivy in Ubuntu 18.04. There is a workaround for this bug which is described in this answer.
