PopOS 24.04 broke my computer, with a little help from Nvidia and
Wayland I believe.

And I mean completely broke, as in totally unusable.  Luckily I
managed to get into a recovery shell and transfer some files to a
backup, then I installed OpenSUSE instead, which is now going well.

More disappointing because I've used PopOS for several years, and
in fact I installed it in the first place because it was better at
dealing with my "legacy" Nvidia card, but the new version killed
all that.

I like OpenSUSE so far, it feels like a more traditional Linux
system, KDE Plasma at the moment which makes a change.  Emacs and
mu4e setup without problems last night, even with having to switch
from offlineimap to mbsync as there wasn't an official offlineimap
in the repositories.
