I've already used Fedora, other distros, but the ease of Yast helps a lot and has a lot of options. I'm grateful to use Linux and I recommend everyone to use the system, you will really like it.In Portuguese translation,Eu tenho usado OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE Plasma e resolvi voltar e estou usando a dois anos,ótimo sistema e bom pra jogos.Eu ja usei Fedora,outras distros,mas a facilidade do Yast ajuda muito e tem muitas opções.Eu fico grato por usar Linux e recomendo a todos usar o systema,irão gostar muito.

Now it is 2024, my laptop has Nvidia RTX-A2000, Qt6 is blooming and KDE Plasma has made a plea for distros to start using Wayland by default. Lot of changes coming in abundance. If you like Plasman then a rolling distro is good since they have multiple releases a year improving the DE. Sooo, I decided to give tumbleweed a solid try again. I was pleased to find they have automated the Nvidia driver install if you use YaST to update. It identified which driver I needed and marked all the packages required to provide a solid yet simple install with prime-run set, ready to go. The only thing it missed was nvidia-smi, which I lean on heavily just to verify visually that Nvidia is being used in offload mode or not. I found that was in the package cuda-compute, if memory doesn't fail. After installing it I was good to go. Been using it about 3 months now and updates have gone well without a hiccup. Early Oct. the Nvidia 550 update downloaded and installed. Boy I was plum giddy to change my login from x11 to Wayland and it worked perfect. Apps that had not played well before were working fine on Wayland using Nvidia. Yes sir, I think those Germans know what they are doing. It has been a solid choice for me, using plasma. Plasma is my favorite and tumbleweed is my favorite too now. I have used Fedora which mostly worked well however there is something about their boot security causes my UEFI BIOS to see a fault and drop out to a "test" screen every 3rd time which isn't needed, just happens. Has not happened since changing over to openSUSE. I started changing over to Linux some years ago because of MS looking over your shoulder and etc. Now that they have co-pilot I'm more happy than ever to have left and found openSUSE. YaST is really nice for those who got use to utilities in one place the Windows Control Panel. Zypper is a fast package manager, I think I found home. People on the forum are nice and respectfull so far. Everyone looks for different priorities in a distro but for me openSUSE hits the most now that YaST installs Nvidia driver with ease. My daily driver is a Dell laptop, Precision 5560. I hope you give openSUSE a try you just might be impressed like I was. :-) Was this review helpful?

I would especially like to note the convenience of using the distribution with the Yast tools and graphical utilities for updating the system, there is almost no need for a terminal for basic use. I also want to answer all those who complain about very frequent system updates, there is a stable version of Leap for you. So I can recommend this distribution for both work and home use.
