New to orks and wondering what armies the green skins generally excell/struggle against.

Post your build. Without defining your build, we can't really say. Due to the versatility of the Ork Codex, Orks can do well against any opponent.

However, do not make a mixed list. Orks need to pick a theme and stick to it. Trukkers, Green Tide, Bikers, Nobz Mobz, etc.

Orks need to specialise to do well, however, your mileage may vary.

IG gives me some big big problems. They are just so fast and have lots and lots of high S shots and flamers.

Funnily enough, I have lots of trouble lol...guess it could be the whole not moving part

Nid Zilla is difficult. Too many monstrous creatures will ruin your day. (especially if they concentrate)

SM gunline armies give me trouble. But IG gunline I plow through.

Orks have never given me trouble as space marines because of my ranged terminator spam.

AV14 spam. Orks don't have meltas pand must rely on power klaws to rip up da armor.

Aside from that there are ork solutions for just about every problem

Orks are your big n00b smasher army in 40k. They do one thing (punch) and do it exceptionally well. However you have 2 parts of the army. Da boys, big blocks of infantry only good in melee. And everything else. Everything else tries its best to make sure da boys do the killing. This means the army can be taken apart fairly easily, as the support elements exist separately from the troops. In addition they are extremely predictable, anyone who has played against orks 4 or 5 times knows exactly how they will perform.

In short, your worst enemy are veteran ork fighters.
