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.

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 :-)

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