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.

Have you installed the Nvidia drivers? Unlike AMD and Intel, the drivers for Nvidia aren’t included by default (because their code is closed source), so you’ll have to install them before your graphics will work.
Unfortunately, OpenSUSE doesn’t offer an easy way to do this. You can follow this guide:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
It’s a bit hard, but if you have trouble, you can ask here. Good luck!
This did it! Thank you! I actually found this page and did the first half, not realizing there was more. I'm not confident I installed the exact correct driver, but I have dual screens in the proper resolution. This should get me by while I troubleshoot everything else.
Thanks again!
