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.

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!
Same experience with two machines equipped with a 1070 and a 2080. Both work without issues under Tumbleweed (with Intel and AMD processors, to spice things up a bit).
Hey we have the same GPU. Good to know it works well
