of course nvidia drivers solution is less than ideal, if I want to run a newer kernel than the default (4.12) on OpenSuSe, then getting the packages from the Nvidia repo will not work. That's what I was referring to.
I mean really?? they only provide support for the (ancient) 4.12 kernel on OpenSUSE?? it must be a bad joke, I like to run old kernels but not _that_ old, the 4.19 lts branch is already point 58 release. Is that the best NVIDIA can do??

This FAQ looks very outdated, referencing some ancient and obsolete versions of Mesa, so it's not relevant today.
The notion that Mesa has less supported games today is simply incorrect. Mesa developers gradually fixed most issues that affected older games. Overall, Nvidia doesn't have less issues than AMD, including for new games.

no idea about suse, but running kernel 5.2 and nvidia 430.26 for last 5 days without issues.
he is talking about low/mid range a 1050ti, Navi mid/low range won't be released till next year or 6 months at least, I'd say.
For me it's clear that in that price range the Rx 570 beats the 1050TI hands down, just look at this statistics. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-570/3649vs3924
that's why I was saying unless you want to buy high end cards, AMD is the best choice for all the others mid and low range, and with NAVI it's almost a niche market, the "really" high end, when Nvidia is worth purchasing.

So I had:
Intel 3rd Gen Quadcore at 4Ghz
NVIDIA GTX 1080
I now have:
Ryzen 2700x
AMD 580
I basically bought the 580 just to test out the experience with the opensource AMD driver. I was planning on switching back to my GTX 1080 since that card is more powerful but the opensource driver experience was so much better with AMD that I went with a lesser card.
The experience with the AMD driver on Linux is also better then NVIDIA. NVIDIA isn't bad but it had some quirks with my triple monitor setup and with AMD I had no issues there.
Performance wise, NVIDIA is better, but AMD is a better fit with Linux.

Nvidia has a repo for tumble weed that supports the newest kernels. https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/.

Used not to support. That was mostly fixed already by Mesa developers - they explicitly asked to collect such list and worked on fixing those cases. Those were mostly low quality ports, that lost support from original developers soon after release.
See:

* https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_with_recent_fixes_in_Mesa
If you know something that still doesn't work and not in the first list above, please add it.
