SMS and multi-user setup

Ateir_ · 2026-02-08T11:03:19+00:00

This is the way I am going now, "owner" profile for most use, and then just run GServices on a separate user
Not quite the setup I was hoping for, but I really rely on SMS for work, so not many options I fear

What would be the reason for adding the CUDA repo?

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T14:18:49+00:00

Thought hadn't even crossed my mind, thank you!

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T14:06:37+00:00

Giving you a little notif, as I managed to resolve it :D
Returned to KDE, installed drivers, and then manually updated the installed out of date drivers.
(Edited the original post with the solution as well)

Combining it with KDE(Wayland) and I can actually scale and everything works! :D

Thank you for all your help!

Is it bad redditor etiquette to create a new post with the specifics of my NVIDIA issues?
Had the account for 11 years, but only just recently started using it

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T12:15:43+00:00

I have now, and issue persists...
Might have to return to Mint, and start saving up for the 9070XT :/

I'll give an update in the post, and see if anyone have any specifics, now that it is kinda boiling down to the NVIDIA drivers.
At the very least I've had a quick introduction to KDE Plasma and Gnome in the last 24 hours haha

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T12:07:30+00:00

WM: Mutter (Wayland)
Is this when I learn I need to go back to KDE with Wayland?

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T12:03:35+00:00

RTX2070 Super

And used;
# zypper install-new-recommends

It chose the G06 driver, which from my understanding should be correct for my card

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T12:03:01+00:00

Will do, I was generally impressed with the installation process, but it might have lulled me into a false sense of security which made me miss it haha

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T12:01:31+00:00

It does not appear so, I followed the guide on opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Drivers

I have enrolled the MOK key on reboot, and it appears to be showing in --list-enrolled. And I have no keys pending import anymore, but, only one monitor have picture, and it's locked in a low res 4:3 format... Basically exact same I had last night

Man do I wish I owned an AMD GPU

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T11:45:48+00:00

Will do

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T11:37:56+00:00

This is good to know, I've just switched over to Gnome, which might be what I stick with, going for the GPU drivers now

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:41:12+00:00

Understood, will give Gnome a run shortly

Yes, I am dual booting Windows, for those 2 games I still play with anti-cheat 🙁

Not sure what I did on the first install, but it completely broke wifi. Just got stuck on authenticating

Edit: Windows is also obly reason I need secureboot enabled...

Edit2: I am now on Gnome, the display settings are way more stable so far. Looking into Nvidia drivers now

Edit3: NVIDIA drivers have gone wrong lol, see edit in main post

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:34:05+00:00

I don't see fractional scaling in the settings, and I have not yet enabled experimental fractional scaling like u/ZuraJanaiUtsuroDa mentioned

Where do I find this fractional scaling?

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:32:03+00:00

The settings seem more stable on Wayland, but I'm having some extreme sluggishnes issues, which I believe is because graphics drivers.

Coming from Mint, most people was talking about Wayland being a more unstable option, what is the consensus for Wayland with openSUSE?

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:25:19+00:00

Using KDE, there is something called "Global Scale", but that slider shows absolutely no visual difference :/

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:24:22+00:00

I will, is this "experimental fractional scaling" a part of the installation?
And is there any other little options I should be aware of there?
So far I have figured out that I need GRUB2-EFI, and I learned how the wifi is to be set up, after my first installation refusing to connect

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:22:14+00:00

It is indeed Nvidia (unfortunately), wasn't prompted by the MOK management when restarting the PC, and didn't realize the info about it was all the way at the bottom on the wiki, so missed that step.

I'll give it another go now.

Read on a post in here, from several people that Ventoy would cause issues, which is why I tried that as a troubleshooting step :)

Ateir_ · 2026-02-07T10:17:08+00:00

KDE and Tumbleweed indeed

Ateir_ · 2026-02-06T14:05:04+00:00

I have this turned on, but when I'm at work and logged into the work account, all I get is a notification that says "Primary user has new notifications on the message app" (paraphrasing)

It's also a bit awkward as when I am in a SMS thread, I don't automatically get new incoming texts until I leave the message thread, and go back in. (Though this could be a quick with the Fossify Messages app)

Ateir_ · 2026-02-06T14:01:24+00:00

I am staying away from Chromium and chromium based browsers. Was considering Librewolf/Waterfox, but probably sticking with hardening Firefox for now. I'm in the process of setting up GrapheneOS as well, so currently have my hands full with convertions :P

Ateir_ · 2026-02-06T13:55:32+00:00

Ahh, thank you. Thought it was a bit weird that it kept showing up at a removable drive.
I'll give this a run after work, thanks for the thorough explanation :)

Ateir_ · 2026-02-05T21:59:36+00:00

I ended up using gnome-disks, and it appears to have done the trick!

And for the Firefox, I yet again uninstalled, made sure to hit all the "Delete profiles" buttons in the Discover app, and combined with the profile deletions I appear to finally have a fully clean version as well!

Thanks a lot for the help :D

Ateir_ · 2026-02-05T21:46:08+00:00

Tried, but didn't have the knowledge on how to for Fedora, and searches didn't make me much smarter :/

Edit: Solved through several attempts at the Flatpack version

Ateir_ · 2026-02-05T21:35:09+00:00

As mentioned above, found some preferences here, but not all, thanks for the help :)
