Ah, that's fine in theory then - I use a dkms package on Arch too since I use a non standard kernel with VFIO patches for PCI passthrough. Interestingly I see people have reported getting PCI passthrough working with the standard SUSE kernel too, so I'll have to give that a try.
As far as I can see the x11-video-nvidia package in the page you linked has quite an old nvidia driver version for Tumbleweed - https://software.opensuse.org/package/x11-video-nvidia https://software.opensuse.org/package/x11-video-nvidia
Again I might be missing something, and in practice it might be easy to install the latest drivers, but this is a bit off putting. I don't know the details of how your build system works or why it keeping up with Nvidia drivers complicated, but this seems like it'd be quite a fundamental thing for a lot of users. The vast majority of people who play games on Linux are going to want recent proprietary Nvidia drivers, so having that as a footnote at the bottom of an article that says it's not recommended/supported doesn't inspire confidence.
Still, I'm intrigued enough to give it a try.
- rbrownsuse 11y agoThe search seems to be doing something weird at the moment.. There is a second "openSUSE Tumbleweed" under the "unsupported distributions" category, and that has the more up to date nvidia packages I'd expect If someone would like to take a look at the lovely ruby behind software.opensuse.org and fix that bug, I'm sure we'd love the pull requests :) https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o
