Boot from older kernel in the boot menu and check if it works
Run sudo snapper rollback
Reboot
Boom, saved you a reinstall.
Alternatively, you can set up zypper to keep old NVIDIA packages, then just login to a CLI and install the older driver package, then reboot. I did that a few times as well, but the snapper rollback was easier.
X11 is ALSO buggy
I didn’t have any of those issues for the 3-ish years I was on Tumbleweed and NVIDIA. I’m now still on Tumbleweed, but have switched to AMD for proper Wayland support
Perhaps. It’s been years since I messed with that. In fact, my last laptop I opted for an AMD APU and no GPU so I wouldn’t need to deal with graphics switching.
I just have to comment here about the “like getting a new GPU”, because do people really upgrade that frequently? I generally see a much bigger jump in performance when upgrading.
I mean it’s not really rolling, but since this is Linux Gaming, I recommend checking out Nobara Linux. It’s a Fedora fork made by GloriousEggroll of the proton-GE fame. It’s the easiest Linux gaming experience I’ve had so far, at least with the non-modified Gnome version.
IMHO, you should avoid KDE – I’ve had nothing but bad experiences there – but if that’s your favourite poison go ahead.
I was setting the acceleration method for the wrong device all the time. I didn’t realize to select the actual mouse from the dropdown in KDE mouse settings until I plugged in my old mouse in.
Anyway that’s the acceleration solved. Also as qwesx pointed out, there is some issue with my Logitech Pro X Superlight. The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired. Must be the wrong polling rate or something?

You have to set the profile for both wired and wireless mode since they’re different USB IDs. Dealt with the same thing on the same mouse. Same thing with Solaar if you use it to set the polling rate.
Every freaking little indie game can give you an extra Steam key but Blizzard can't? The game was expensive enough already, what the fuck do we even pay for? To be just another cow to be further milked?
Embarrassing, but I never knew that you actually have to activate proton in the steam settings in order to install games which natively don’t support Linux. This kept me from switching completely.
Now I use Fedora with KDE and can also run MS games like AoE without any problem. Even the performance is often a lot better for example in BG3.
To clarify: native Linux support means the game ships with Linux binaries. For non-native games (Windows only) you use Proton. (For some games the Windows version with Proton actually works better than the Linux native version)
The setting you are referring to enables Proton for all games, instead of the selection of games that have a predefined Proton version which has been tested by Valve.
