I would prefer to stick with Tumbleweed. I like the rolling release model in general (and am used to it). Steamtricks and the fact that they test the packages before shipping them. I installed Leap successfully, but Steam had a nasty habit of trying to connect to the store infinitely, showing nothing more than a black screen. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

On my old laptop I was always using the package from nvidia. That one was 13.2 though. Always a bit work when the kernel changes, running the installer from the console commandline. And for TW this would be quite often. Also some X updates overwrite some of the nvidia libs and require re-running the installer. But I think TW updates the kernel more often than X libs :P
In general, if an update makes the driver fail to compile, go back to the previous kernel (advanced options in boot menu) and then lock it, so that purge-kernels does not remove it with later updates
zypper al kernel-default-4.10.13
If you try dkms, be careful: If you install a new version of the driver with it, it will remove the old one from all installed kernels, which probably is not what you want....

So do I reinstall devel_C_C++ and devel_kernel every single time, or only just once? I'd imagine after I notice a kernel upgrade I need to do that after the updates and before I log into tty. Thanks for your input :)
