Forgive the stupid question - i’m an AMD user precisely to avoid this kind of nonsense - but my brother is interested in trying TW on his old razer laptop:
n.b. seems only to be adding a repo, not actually installing the driver…?
Or a yast method:
Open YaST, then click Software Repositories.
Click Add (in the bottom left), then select Community Repositories.
Select NVIDIA Graphics Drivers, then click OK.
Or an Automated installation method:
zypper install-new-recommends --repo NVIDIA
n.b. which is simply another console method?
Or three different Manual methods:
In a terminal:
lspci | grep VGA
lscpu | grep Arch
Alternatively:
hwinfo --gfxcard | grep Model
hwinfo --arch
Using inxi utility:
inxi -G
inxi -Ga
n.b. which also seem to be terminal methods…?
And if I’m really curious there’s another three feet of wiki page to scroll down:
Which may contain yet further methods! n.b. i’m not that curious
Q. What do you guys do with a fresh TW install on a nVidia system? A. I’m all ears…
Yeah, quite confusing, if you just want to use an NVIDIA card. We discussed pros and cons of different ways of installation recently.
I finally went with the NVIDIA repo. Disturbing: It pulled in a package setting all my TW repos (all!) to the CDN for opensuse, had been on a specific update server before. So keep an eye on your repos, in case you are picky…
