I’ll check out Tumbleweed. Any downsides to it compared to Ubuntu forks?

It has been a while, but nVidia drivers have always been a pain to install, especially when you also need an older version of CUDA. If tumbleweed has a better compatibility/easier installation process, it is a big win.

Looking to reinstall Linux on my dual-boot. For legacy robotics reasons, I still have ubuntu 18.04 on it.

Which distro would be the best for gaming + CUDA software dev?
