It has been helpful for onboarding to linux. Everyone complaining about issues on other distros, and one OpenSUSE leap you just add a repo and check which card category you have. For openSUSE newbies here are some links.

For Leap zypper addrepo --refresh 'https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/$releasever' NVIDIA and if for some reason you don't want to type in a url you can add to the repos this way zypper install openSUSE-repos-NVIDIA

Tumbleweed is zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed NVIDIA

And if you wanted to Auto-detect and install driver per your card is zypper install-new-recommends --repo NVIDIA

nVidia hosts its own repo for fedora and openSUSE. So on those you get direct driver from manufacturer. i found it made everything juat work, and the nVidia app has many config options

Fedora and OpenSUSE are supported directly by nVidia. You can add specific nVidia hosted repos to install the drivers.

Bazzite is a steam like OS based on Fedora that is tailored to gaming.

I'm not sure about other distros but many will have an option to use wayland or X11 at the login prompt.

If I recall silver blue needed you to choose the new default at boot ( after uograde). is it still like that? if so I'd go with OpenSUSE GNOME, you get and update notice on the top notice bar , click update and packages install. Reboot defaults to latest snapshot

Yeah for that it is launch files app, choose device, android, data, app/com/org folder, then there will be a files subfolder. which is often split into pictures, audio, movies, etc.

it's a deep dive for sure

The answer then is OpenSUSE Leap or SlowRoll. OpenSUSE has YastGTK GUI for all config tasks ( think windows command center ), they won't have to use CLI for anything, and if an update does go weird ( which is very rare due to their automated QA ) then you have inatant rollback at the boot menu

Most can be cleaned by going into Settings, Apps, Whatsapp, Storage and clicking delete cache. permanently saved ones may be more problematic

I haven't tried that one but FX filebrowser is awesome

As a unixy based OS it is all files

Yeah super handy when I was helping my mom in another province, because she is bad with tech. She types quickassist then ahares the generated code with me, I enter it, connects right away and still persists during reboot updates. Probably the best think MS has ever done.

OpenSUSE. snapshots build in. nVidia hosts its own Leap or Tumbleweed GPU repo you can add for trouble fee GPU use. GUI for almoat all config tasks you might normally do at the CLI. Stable...and rollbacks ahould you make a mistake

It is similar, but QuickAssist is way better and so simple. If you type quickassist in the search bar it should show the app.
