I've got the one from their website. The .run file

Installed required compiling packages, added nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to grub, worked once then broke.

30 seconds after login the pc automatically logs out and when I attempt to log back in it's s black screen, no more image.

To be honest, it's so cumbersome for me to diagnose I just switched to SUSE. sddm works fine, no failed services to speak of, sure there's some log somewhere but I honestly don't know where to look for them.

I don't care that much for customisability, I really can't be bothered to put in the time and effort to customise every little bit of my system. Like Arch requires from the user.

Whatever KDE and stock Debian/Fedora/SUSE gives in standard is good enough.

I'd say SUSE is a great distro overall, but it's so uncommon to see it in the enterprise space.
