From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My guess is you have an nvidia card and are using the nouveau (open source) module instead of the nvidia (proprietary) one.
Assuming that's correct, here's Ubuntu's documentation on that. https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/nvidia-drivers-installation
I'm not sure what was wrong with the opensuse install, since I'm pretty sure I got the nvidia drivers to work, but I definitely have everything working with nvidia on fedora
You might have to tick "Force Composition Pipeline" in nvidia-settings.
Without it most UIs are laggy or tearing heavily on my rig.
If I ever feel like going back I may do that. In the meantime I'm very happy with what fedora has to offer me so far. Just finishing installing the software I use regularly now!
Oh I totally misread, Ubuntu was what you had in the VM.
If you open the Nvidia settings and it sees your GPU(s), then it should be working, if you hadn't already come to that conclusion.
Fedora is a solid choice!
