Just now OpenSUSE Tumbleweed had an update that included Nvidia drivers for kernel v7. Depending on the device, drivers either didn’t load at all, or were very broken.
Not to mention the mess they made with older devices.
Same for me - I updated my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (zypper dup), no issues, until I rebooted and the system was completely borked. I didn’t even get into the Login Screen; just a green screen.
A few days later, I booted into recovery mode, updated again; the screens were blue now.
Then, I got a USB with the installation media and updated the system with that; I got in (with no drivers loaded); changed the values to allow nouveau to load; nouveau loaded; but Internet was broken (IP was fine, DNS was borked). I had enough and did a clean re-install. Now, I’ve got Kernel 7, NVIDIA Driver 595 and Internet all running nicely. Re-installing the software was a chore, but not that bad.
I did dual-boot into CachyOS to have a working graphics driver for the week in which I was fixing OpenSUSE, worked nicely, but was of course missing GeekosDAW (Metapackage for audio producing & routing).
Nvidia totally borked for me.
