From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish it was not hard getting nvidia drivers on opensuse.

Wdym? Installing Nvidia drivers on openSUSE is just one simple command:
sudo zypper in nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default

That's all, no additional configuration required, even the kernel arguments will be handled by the Nvidia driver.

Have you tried recently?

You used to either have to install them manually, or enable the nVidia repo.

But I reinstalled Tumbleweed a few months ago and it auto-detected and added the repo for me and everything. I didn't even have to disable nouveau first or anything like that, if I recall correctly.
