Hello, I would like to downgrade my kernel to the latest 5.8 version. Currently I’m using kernel 5.9.11-1-default. I’m running openSUSE Tumbleweed. I also would like to persist this kernel downgrade setting between full system updates. Is this possible? How can I see the list of available 5.8 kernels (if there are any?)
Edit: I’d like to downgrade the kernel because of my nvidia drivers, which work fully only in 5.8. On kernel 5.9 OBS doesn’t work, Firefox has stopped having hardware acceleration, etc. I just want to downgrade to 5.8 and wait for those guys to figure out their issues on their own.

Here nvidia is working with the run-file:
stephan@linux64:~> uname -a && nvidia-settings -v
Linux linux64 5.9.12-1.g46922da-default #1 SMP Wed Dec 2 09:24:35 UTC 2020 (46922da) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
nvidia-settings: version 455.46.02
The NVIDIA X Server Settings tool.
This program is used to configure the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver.
For more detail, please see the nvidia-settings(1) man page.
It’s good to know that 455.46.02 is working. Right now I have 450.80.02, I’ll do some reading on how to install the same version as you have.
As for the kernels, then yeah, all are 5.9, when I had 5.8 I’ve added a line to zypper to retain it, but apparently I did it wrong and kernel update has removed it anyway. Well, though luck.
