Alright, after hours and hours of trying basically the same thing, I was finally able to connect my radio to chirp. Thanks for all the help, it was your suggestions that helped me search the internet further.
I had success by following directions on an Ask Ubuntu Thread. The link is below if you want to check it out:

Hello everyone, I have a Baofeng BF-UVB3 8W radio. My computer is linux, running Ubuntu 18.10, the newest. I have CHIRP installed and running, but I am not able to find the COM port for my radio, connected via a USB programming cable.

I have entered every terminal command line I could find info about on the internet, even one that showed me port numbers for connected devices, yet there is no port number or path that works for my radio.

What COM port should I use?

Thank You
