Solution: download an earlier version of the LM Studio AppImage.
Or 0.4.6-1, which works better for me.
I recently bought a new computer, and, after again trying Windows 11 for a bit, I decided I wanted to keep using OpenSUSE.
Probably unpopular here: I enjoy screwing around with local LLM models. I used LM Studio on my old computer (on which I had also installed OpenSUSE Leap). I also tested it on my new computer in Windows 11, and it worked very nicely. Now I’m trying on my new computer with OpenSUSE Leap 16, and it doesn’t work at all.
Specifically: no runtimes nor engines are present, and my hardware isn’t recognised at all - not my GPU nor my CPU, nothing.
I’m thinking it’s a driver issue. I’ve looked around quite a bit, and also looked up (what seems to me) the most important error messages I got when running the AppImage from the console:

This is my system with installed drivers:
I did get Ollama to work... Any thoughts?
Is LM Studio better than Jan? Just asking as a user wo never had a Problem with Jan on Arch Linux.
It detects my hardware at least, but for whatever reason the Hub is empty and I can’t download the default Jan model... But it works when I import the models manually.
