@Terje J. Hanssen Noveau are very limiting and problematic (through no fault of those who make them, who do a very good job). If you have a fairly recent Nvidia you can try using the official open drivers: nvidia-open. With these drivers Nvidia equalizes with AMD. However, don't think they are completely open: just like AMD, they have brought the parts they want to keep closed into the firmware and leave only the open parts in the driver.

@Andrea My legacy Nvidia card was not high-end, but it still works for me with Nouveau/Mesa for normal work without heavy graphical tasks. Previously I also used Nvidia's proprietary driver, which was (and still is) quite easy to install via their specific openSUSE repositories. But as I continuously upgrade my lp15.x and especially the Tumbleweed rolling release in a dual-boot setup, it became extra work and more error prone to keep up with Nvidia. Therefore I went with Nouveau as part of the official openSUSE lp15.x stablel and tw rolling releases: # inxi -SCMG System: Host: localhost.localdomain Kernel: 5.14.21-150400.24.63-default x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: GNOME 41.9 Distro: openSUSE Leap 15.4 Machine: Type: Desktop System: MSI product: MS-7971 v: 1.0 serial: N/A Mobo: MSI model: Z170-A PRO (MS-7971) v: 1.0 serial: GC16013847 UEFI: American Megatrends v: 1.K0 date: 07/10/2018 CPU: Info: Quad Core model: Intel Core i7-6700K bits: 64 type: MT MCP cache: L2: 8 MiB Speed: 800 MHz min/max: 800/4200 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 800 2: 800 3: 800 4: 800 5: 800 6: 800 7: 800 8: 800 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nouveau v: kernel Device-2: Microdia Camera type: USB driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo Device-3: MACROSILICON USB3.0 UHD type: USB driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid,uvcvideo Display: server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: loaded: nouveau unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 2560x1440~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: NV106 v: 4.3 Mesa 21.2.4 Packages I have installed in additional for Nvidia are S | Name | Summary | Type ---+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+-------- i | kernel-firmware-nvidia | Kernel firmware files for Nvidia Tegra and graphics drivers | package i+ | nvidia-firmware-installer | Downloads and installs nVidia firmware | package I have so far not tried NVIDIA Open GPU kernel modules, which according to this openSUSe blog seemingly work for Nvidias newer Turing/Ampere GPU platforms with Risc-V system processor. https://sndirsch.github.io/nvidia/2022/06/07/nvidia-opengpu.html
