Found the Nvidia user.
It's such a pain in the ass. Every time I have a kernal update it's time to go into single user mode and hit up lynx for the new graphics driver.
Fuck NVIDIA
do you mean their graphics cards or everything they make?
No idea what else they make, but my experience with theirs graphics cards is enough to dissuade a purchase of any of their other products.
What distro? Running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed here and used to have to do that too. It was awful.
They have an official Nvidia repo that works pretty great now though, and works between kernel updates.
...now if only updates would stop randomly deciding my computer can't wake up from sleep anymore, that'd be lovely...
Why can/is openSUSE do/doing it but not others?
Will you're almost free from that. I saw 6.7 uses the GSP firmware, so if you have a newer Turing card noveou (can never spell it) will be able to run games.
My issues have been proton with Nvidia, versions that work fine with AMD don't work with Nvidia i can't wait for NVK to be a thing.
For people who don't know what NVK is.

w3m works a bit better in my experience
laughs in AMD
Must be a by-distro thing. On KUbuntu and Pop! I've never had any issues with Nvidia, though I know that they're a pain in the ass to work with.
Same with Mint and LMDE, it just works.
Mint is remarkably stable. They even seem to put a barrier up against Canonical's questionable decisions.
That distro needs more funding and more shout-outs.
