Switching to openSUSE TW

As the title says, I want to switch to TW for the sake of just trying it out, and I have a few questions.

  1. I am dual booting Fedora KDE and Win11. Can I just replace Fedora with openSUSE or is it recommended to do a clean install for both OS?

  2. My laptop has a dedicated Nvidia Graphics Card. (Nvidia RTX 3050, specifically). I've heard recently that there's an issue regarding mismatched kernel and driver versions? Has it been fixed or not yet?

  3. This question is related to the above question. How much trouble will I have using openSUSE TW with nvidia graphics card?

  4. Could you tell me good practices for maintaining the system and other general tips and tricks?

Thanks.

Replacing Thermal Putty on my HP Victus 15 - fa0xxx

I've been wanting to replace them but I do not know the thickness of the original ones. They have been worn out enough that I fear I won't be able to get a concise measurement.

I'm using upsiren-6, btw.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Recommdations for a good pc repair shop in Yagon?

The "x" keycap fell off from my laptop and went missing. Is there a shop that can order keycaps and attach it?
