  • When I installed Tumbleweed not so long ago, I also had problems. The installer is notorious for giving you an unusable system sometimes, even when using the defaults.

    I have been running Tumbleweed “stock” on my desktop for about 10 months now and truth to be told I never had a problem with it, including updates. Rock stable with a nice snapshot feature as a safety net.

    That’s why I’ll wait to install Kalpa on the desktop. Just no reason for it.

    I have of course run into bugs but those came from KDE. Can’t really blame Tumbleweed for those.

    In fact, Tumbleweed is the reason I went all in with Linux and ditched dual booting Windows, as I had been bit pretty hard early on my linux journey with other distros and made me think twice using Linux as a daily-reliable-driver.

    And yet here I am looking to expanding my devices with a replacement server (linux) and a NUC (linux).

    Finally ditched Windows on the desktop forever, about 7 months ago.

    I agree with you on mobile. I my country many ppl ditched laptops and desktops for their phones.

    Although I have a hard time understanding how they can actually get some work done on the phone, if they do any work from home that requires a computer. Well those ppl probably have an old laptop laying around.












  • The new kernel driver 545 is constantly throwing error on cold boot. It will reach a workable desktop though.

    If I reboot after the cold boot, the driver loads normally without error.

    This is the first time I see information at startup about the nVidia driver loading.

    Edit: I’ll just buy a AMD card next time and be done with this crap.

    Also on a side note, I can’t even logon to a Wayland session, like ever. The desktop is black with only the cursor and after a couple of seconds Kwin always crashes.

    I’ll stay on x11 for now.


  • Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

    That’s exactly what happens on opensuse when I log into to Wayland. Kwin also crashes 100 % of the time. I’m using a 1050ti.

    So my default is always x11.

    Can you shed a little light how to fix the Wayland issue.

    Thank you.

    Edit. I misread your post. Its not the command line but the GUI. Also its a black screen with a mouse cursor followed by a kwin crash.
