Just don’t ask how long it took to get my dGPU working properly :D But thankfully, there were a bunch of helpful folks with tips!

    Yeah, those are the same reasons I chose tumbleweed. Plus the rolling release.

    I hope you made your system partition large enough. I had about 20G for / (excluding /home), which used to be enough for kubuntu, but quickly ran out of space on tumbleweed. I assume because of the Btrfs snapshots.

    I reinstalled tumbleweed on a larger partition. Then couldn’t install the proprietary codecs, because of an error I couldn’t resolve.

    Installed it a third time recently, now it runs smoothly.

        If you intent to run virtual machines with virt-manager (especially if you keep the default path), that 200 Gb will seems short a bit :-)

        With most PC things (RAM, disk space, CPU, etc etc), too much is better than too little, provided you have the resources.

        The partition running full did prevent me from updating the system. That surely can be somehow fixed. But with time and skill being limited resources in my life, it doesn’t mean that it is unimportant.
