I seriously can’t imagine what could be going on here. I’ve got opensuse, debian, and mint in the household for non-savvy people and it all just works. I have a rare problem with a Tumbleweed update, like twice a year. Printing, wifi, everything. It is way more stable than my Enterprise-managed Windows 11 machine. So I am seriously curious what problems people are having.
A lot of problems basically boil down to using an nVidia card and dealing with their drivers. Either use an AMD GPU/APU or if you don’t need anything fancy the iGPU in an Intel CPU.
Often it is the hardware. One should check what is supported, the chipsets etc… Or just get Framework (or maybe a mainstream Dell). It’s a pity they only do laptops…

Ive got a 1070 and the nvidia drivers work fine. They are pretty good about updating along with Tumbleweed updates. Other stuff around is Intel.
1070 is old at this point and the driver is mature. For newer GPUs, even on windows, drivers take time to become more stable.

Yeah i guess the hardware is the variable factor. My stuff is pretty old, so maybe it is better-supported.
