Well OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is really nice. Minimal emulation is still a lot slower than bare-metal, but at least it's a viable option. I think running qemu directly would give much better performance than virtualbox. I haven't spend the time to build a qemu command line though.
Not for virtual anything but I was looking at the Suse website earlier today. I tried it last about 3 years ago but I was way to newb and didn't have shit compared to the knowledge I've learned since then and it's supposed to be one of the most stable distro's out there.
So I find that a great suggestion, just worried it won't be easy to install proprietary drivers for my gtx1650.
Nvidia drivers are available for linux, won't be a problem if you're running bare-metal.
Back in 2018 or 2017 before grub2 was found insecure I had 7 distro's installed on my machine, 5 on the 10TB sata, 1 mx on usb stick and 2 on a usb3.0 passport. It felt good to have a choice and backup systems if one got so fucked it wouldn't boot.
So how is rEFInd or should I use the Suse boot menu that comes with the distro?
That's the thing about Manjaro is that you just choose proprietary and also during a kernel change to a new one Manjaro also updates the kernel headers and the nvidia drivers to the ones that work with that kernel.
I updated the drivers myself foolishly following the online guides to get smplayer with mvp to use graphic acceleration, spent 2 days then realized I fucked the entire system up and reinstalled Manjaro then went to the arch wiki and found Manjaro was using video acceleration with a simple terminal command and just set smplayer to VAPAU for the regular and hardware dropdowns and it ran great.
I made a huge good move though, I disconnected my 4k tv and put the old hdmi back on. Linux has got to get their shit together more on 4K since I couldn't even get Mint to boot the 4K tv while the advanced hardware version of MX booted up fine. Hit or miss with some hardware.
You were not exagerating in the least. I installed Gecko the community xfce version of Tumbleweed Suse and it's super stable, fast, and unlike Manjaro and most linux when I search for software and choose install it actually installs no pamac quitting because the dependencies or the git page cannot be found. Thanks for the advice, this is my new daily driver unless something big I didn't notice yet is wrong but not one error so far. I think Yast is the big difference, much more polished than anything else I've used before.
Great to hear, glad you like it.
Most distro's I like, this one is love. Like is manjaro and mint before they fucked with in in 2018 was love but now it's like at best.
Now the only other love like this was Antergos Cinnamon, man that was the best OS till this one I've ever used and I've tried to do the offline installer but it's fucked up and no one has fixed it since it was created.
I'm on it now and it's running great. Hell the only thing I couldn't find so far to install is FFmulticonverter, if you have a bunch of .TS files or MKV files with MP2 and MP3 encoding you can put the .TS files in it and hit the convert button to convert to .mp4 and 50 will take 30 seconds running automatic just converting the container and copying the audio and video to the new file same filename, wonderful program. I imagine I could convert the .deb to an .rpm to get it to install on Suse also if I looked up converting deb to rpm.
