I've been trying to start using selenium on my laptop, but i just keep getting into errors, after about 1h I'm done trying to fix it by myself.

Selenium version: 3.141.0
chromedriver versoin: 860224
Chrome version: 90.0.4430.11
OS: Arch Linux x86_64

I have this following bit of code(which is copied from the post here:

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = r'/opt/google/chrome-unstable/google-chrome-unstable'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options= options, executable_path= '/home/andrei399/Downloads/chromedriver_linux64/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://google.com/')

Can anyone please help me? I've been over a lot of stuff, before i restarted my laptop it said it didn't find any binary file, although the path led straight to the x program, I've tried with chrome (not chrome-unstable), although now that doesn't seem to be the problem anymore.

You are using webdriver.Chrome function but you have imported firefox options

Change your code to the following

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = r'/opt/google/chrome-unstable/google-chrome-unstable'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options= options, executable_path= '/home/andrei399/Downloads/chromedriver_linux64/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://google.com/')
