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.

Plasma is just well optimized in openSUSE with sensible defaults like animation speeds etc. and it's really up to date. At least on Tumbleweed which I recommend over Leap anyway.
As for nVidia I can't speak for myself as I have AMD card.
I’ve run Tumbleweed in several VM’s, and it’s great, but I wonder how bad the upkeep is of a rolling release distribution. Do you update every day? Every week? I’d get OCD, probably. How about any danger of mucking up your system versus a more stable release distro?
I update it every now and then, basically when I feel like it. Sometimes it's day or two apart, sometimes it's after month or even more. For rolling distro I'd say it's incredibly stable. And even if something breaks (and with my lack of proper skills it happens) there's easy fix with automatic snapper snapshots. It never really broke on me and I'm running it for two and half years (being my first linux as main OS). I really can't recommend it enough.
Thanks, I’ll try it on a laptop. I knew my way around Linux pretty well a long time ago, but when you mess up your package manager, I’m not sure if I’ll always find my way out again, haha. Not ideal for a desktop or gaming machine. Also, I sometimes like automatic updates. Not sure if that’s a great idea on a rolling release.
