Nice to read your topic. I just switched to Tumbleweed after 2 years going with Endeavour, because I need UEFI Secure Boot for dual boot Windows 11 again.
Just curious about your machine? Does it have nvidia graphic card? How do you deal with NVIDIA driver? I'm following some guides to setup, the process done right, completed without error, but the graphic card was not used yet.
I don't use Nvidia card. However, I would recommend anyone who uses Nvidia to stay away from any rolling release distro, and some semi-rolling release distro like Fedora. Since the proprietary driver doesn't update along the kernel, there could be all kind of issues happen. You pretty much have to fix these anoying issues all the time.
If I use Nvidia, I would run it on Ubuntu, or Pop! OS if you want a more up-to-date kernel and drivers. In Pop! OS case, they are selling System76 which pretty much all the models comes with Nvidia cards. Therefore, Nvidia cards are very solid on their OS.
@archerallstars thank you. I've taken more than a day to setup nvidia driver on my laptop. Fortunately, everything work well now. Looking back, it's easy as same as Ubuntu/Debian or Fedora. Just use YaST or download .run file from nvidia website to install needed driver. Then use suse-prime to switch between integrated and dedicated graphic cards. I got stuck just because I didn't know suse-prime earlier.
Other than that, everything on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is fine. I have the same workspace setup as on EndeavourOS.
