I tried every popular distro that I could with KDE plasma and couldn’t get nvidia drivers working properly until i tried tumbleweed and kde. learning to interact with linux and playing in tumbleweed kde has almost replaced gaming for me. im having so much fun with this and wanted to find other people that also use openSUSE. after getting nvidia drivers to work on here i haven’t come across anything that makes me want to look for another distro. please tell me anything you would want a new user to know about openSUSE. or any programs you use etc. i’m also switching between and playing around with x11 and wayland at the moment. any input on that is greatly appreciated. this is amazing. happy holidays. if a dev sees this, you’re a legend.
Nvidia still has difficulties with Wayland.
IMHO TW Slowroll + LTS kernel is better for Nvidia + proprietary drivers.

Tumbleweed with actual drivers and hardware work like a charm with X11. No problems at all.
Only old hardware (>10 years) may be a little bit more difficult as the drivers need heavy patching to be compatible with actual kernel. That means after a new kernel release, it needs some days until the drivers are patched.

sudo zypper in discover-notifier
Then open Discover, go to “Settings” (left bottom) > Three dots menu (upper right) > “Configure Updates” and configure it like this:
Now you can forget about updating. If something goes wrong, you will know it just after updating (it will update only during boot) and you can roll back the system). Moreover, it will update both RPM and Flatpak, so the system will be always updated!

@00sapo that’s probably fine for MicroOS to a degree, I run both but test the snapshot on Tumbleweed with zypper -vvv dup before the MicroOS auto updates to ensure there are no major issues. I don’t run snapper on Tumbleweed either, no rollback needed. The recommended/supported method to update is only with zypper dup.
