This didn't boot either. Though I hear there is an Nvidia version that might work. How does this compare to fedora ublue?
Optimus is such a pain. Definitely not a good start for a linux laptop. Maybe you can turn it off in the bios or set the primary GPU to prefer the integrated. Or maybe boot with nomodeset in the kernel options and install the Nvidia drivers. And I don't know if you have a G05 or better Nvidia card, but if you do it should work with Wayland. Who knows, though! Personally, I would sooner sell the laptop and get one that is compatible without all the hackery.
It's just easy mode for keeping your computer up to date without having to do anything beyond the initial setup. You can read about it here.
I think it's set to use integrated graphics by default. I don't know what a G05 is but it's fairly recent (3050Ti). I am not gonna sell the most powerful laptop I have had that also has CUDA support just because some minor Linux distros don't work. I could understand if this was guix or parabola, but it's not. Nvidia should at least boot okay especially given it uses Intel by default and nouveau exists. If you can't get that right I don't think I have much confidence in your OS. Ublue has varients for Nvidia hardware, and arch has support too, as does Pop_OS!
You should have said that from the start. CUDA doesn't work properly on MicroOS because it can't be fully installed, at least in my attempts.
And I have no idea why you think it's my OS. Next time provide detailed information. I wouldn't have responded otherwise.
And your Nvidia card supports G06. Do some basic research.
You made it sound like G05 is a graphics card, not a piece of software. I haven't used OpenSUSE in a long time so I am am not sure why you think it's reasonable for me to know distribution specific names for packages.
Having CUDA comes with an Nvidia card. I don't get why I have to specify that. Just telling someone to buy a new laptop is not really good advice when they are asking you to suggest a Linux distro. It's kinda rude.
Sigh... Just stop.
