[Python] Why am I getting this error message when trying to use PyQt5

I've found a lot of solutions for this problem online, but none of them are working for me and I've been trying for so long to fix it.

This is the error I'm getting:
"qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, vnc, webgl, xcb."

This is all my code is just a simple window to see if it works:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle("My First PyQt5 Window")
window.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 300)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())


I'm using VSCode and I'm just in the standard environment it recommends for you. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
