There was a bug in a few recent linux kernel versions which might account for it if the one you've got is 6.8.9 for example. It was only recently patched and Suse might have had the bad luck to just miss the fix for it before sending you the update. If so I imagine they'll apply that patch soon.

Yup, that was it. I rebooted using 6.8.8 and everything works fine now. I guess I have to do that until the next kernel update. Thanks!
I have 6.8.9-1. I'll have to look into it, thanks!
Do you have btrfs? It might be time to rollback until an update fixes the issue.
Snapper for the rescue! Again. I still don't get how everyone else ignores this awesome piece of software?!
Any reason to use it over Timeshift? Or same basic concept?
It comes preconfigured in openSUSE and requires 0 skill.
Yep, this is what I had to do.
I do, although I've never had to deal with that before (just started a month or two ago) so I'll have to look it up. Does it work on the whole drive, or can I do it by partition/logical volume?
It works by partition I think.
It works by subvolume, which are not equivalent to partitions.
Thankfully I didn't have to use it, but in looking it up at least I know how to now. Opensuse makes it pretty easy!
I had a similar issue recently on Garuda, and what fixed it for me was going into the BIOS and enabling Resizable BAR.
Had issues like that from time to time, when graphics drivers got borked during the update/did not exist for the new kernel.
solution was allways to either remove the drivers and reinstall them or rollback to an earlier snapshot and wait a week.
I see. The downside of rolling release, eh?
If you are on Nvidia, try reinstalling the binary drivers. On kernel updates the akmod stuff sometimes needs to be recompiled.
No, AMD. Thanks anyway.
Oh! I am not the only one!
Good. I thought I had fucked something up. Now I guess it's something that is out of my hands.
Guess I'll just keep playing the ones that do work (it's not a lot of them).
Edit: Well, this dumbass here doesn't have btrfs and can't use snapper. BUT. I downloaded an older version of the kernel (from the 30th of last month) from the SUSE repo and installed that. I'll try rebooting later and see if it makes a difference.
Edit 2: WELL it didn't work. Trying to boot into the older kernel caused other things to break. System seemed to load with a generic graphics driver instead of the proper driver for my AMDGPU.... ? I imagine I'd have to downgrade more packages than just the kernel itself for things to actually function, but that is beyond by knowledge. Back to plan A of hoping it gets fixed. :P
