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.

Hi, I would like to ask if openSuse Tumbleweed is a good option for daily driving ang gaming. I'm not new to Linux and have tried Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I can also troubleshoot problems on my own if anything comes up. The graphics card I have is Nvidia if its any relevant.

I have used Tumbleweed prior as a daily driver with an Nvidia 1050ti. From memory, you will have to enable a repo, and that's about it. openSUSE also has YaST which will help significantly with managing this sort of stuff for your install. The gaming experience on openSUSE was pretty much issueless for me.

I just set up Tumbleweed recently with a similar card and can confirm that all you have to do is enable the repo.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!
