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!

Oh undoubtedly!

Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn't be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)

I was personally drawn to it because: it's not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.

Why is your chosen distro (obviously) the superior choice?

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.

It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn't argue

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 :-)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
