They work on any other distro I’ve tried. OpenSUSE is the only one that never gets an address. Static or DHCP, doesn’t make a difference. I’ll try again with your suggestion from a USB drive, since I don’t remember all the things I tried that did nothing to help. Thanks.
I’ve had mine for a year and 3 months (LCD) and it will run me Horizon Zero Dawn for an hour and 15 minutes (give or take) since day 1. No difference that I’ve been able to appreciate.
