openSUSE is an open, free and secure operating system for PC, laptops, servers and ARM devices. Managing your emails, browsing the web, watching online streams, playing games, serving websites or doing office work never felt this empowering. And best part? It's not only backed by one of the leaders in open source industry, but also driven by lively community.

Well said. Need things that works ou of the box, even if it takes to acknowledge adding non free during installation
Adding the proprietary drivers wasn't a problem at all even for a noob like me. They do a fantastic job of packaging a driver for us and are maintaining the repositories for it. The problem I have is that they're hell bent on sticking to the wrong version of the drivers that lacks significant functionality while the proper drivers that solves that problem have been out of beta for almost a year and they keep ignoring them.
Oh ok, but I'm comfused now... to me it looks they are actually providing an up to date proprietary driver.
According to NVIDIA's website the latest driver is v550.144.03. Listing the available drivers on Tumbletweed shows one can install v550.144.03.
Are you refering to NVIDIA "New Feature Branch Version:565.77" ?
Yes, he is and I agree with him. If you look at any other distro that tries to cater to gamers, you will see that they use the new feature branch for the very reasons @DaddleDew mentioned. Outside of that I found that OpenSuseTW was a great distro that I could recommend to people...just not gamers on Nvidia. I ended up moving to EndeavourOS a few days ago and everything is running smoothly with the provided 565.77 drivers from the new feature branch. I might be back some day.
Right, here we go let’s see if they pickup this call, here is a feature request on OpenSUSE GitHub
