I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven't really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly. windows won't show, the Steam Friends List window hangs. This is almost unusable.

NAK and GSP cannot be merged soon enough so I can get rid of this proprietary atrocity.

Just do a snapper rollback. It's pretty easy:

  1. Boot from older kernel in the boot menu and check if it works
  2. Run sudo snapper rollback
  3. Reboot

Boom, saved you a reinstall.

Alternatively, you can set up zypper to keep old NVIDIA packages, then just login to a CLI and install the older driver package, then reboot. I did that a few times as well, but the snapper rollback was easier.

X11 is ALSO buggy

I didn't have any of those issues for the 3-ish years I was on Tumbleweed and NVIDIA. I'm now still on Tumbleweed, but have switched to AMD for proper Wayland support

Thanx for the rollback command! :)

And yeah, some games wouldn't even boot. So I'm doing 5 games in this benchmark after all. Perhaps it's cause it's an Optimus laptop.

Perhaps. It's been years since I messed with that. In fact, my last laptop I opted for an AMD APU and no GPU so I wouldn't need to deal with graphics switching.
