Hello everyone, finally got to re-test the whole thing but it seems things are
not quite functioning yet. It improved no doubt.
I did a fresh Aeon RC3 install to avoid any previous modifications to
interfere.
> sudo transactional-update pkg in openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA
> sudo transactional-update -c pkg in nvidia-drivers-G06
> sudo reboot
After the reboot I ran nvidia-smi in terminal:
> nvidia-smi
> NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Doing the usual inspections now:

There seems to be a new initrd which matches the date and time of the driver
installation (snapshot 4) which is also used in the latest boot entry but for
some reason it seems not to contain the nvidia driver modules but nouveau seems
to be black listed now.
> sudo lsmod | grep -E 'nvidia|nouveau'
Returns nothing which makes me suspect nouveau is not loaded but nvidia or
nvidia-drm is not as well. Thankfully I have an AMD iGPU :D
A quick check at the package versions:

I hope these are the latest versions. at least transactional-update dup didn't
generated a new snapshot as I tired post install.
Kind regards,
