    After quite a bit of agonizing, I eventually landed on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I chose a rolling release distro because on my desktop I want to be up-to-date. Having used Gentoo a long time ago, I didn’t want a distro that takes effort to install and set up. openSUSE is somewhat popular with an active community and decent documentation in case I run in to issues. I also considered the fact it’s based in Germany, because EU has at least some decent privacy laws. I was put off by the fact its backed by SUSE, but that’s a two-edged sword.

    Right now I’m content with Tumbleweed, but I’m keeping an eye on OpenMandriva Lx if I feel like switching.

        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.
