While I understand there might be CUDA users in TW, I see a little reason why one company would stop rolling our rolling distro. Users relying on uvm module should simply stay ("zypper al" is your friend) with 5.8 until the mess is resolved.
As a NVidia and Tumbleweed user I dislike the idea to lock Kernel package 5.8. I dislike the idea for security reasons. I do not want to use a Linux system which may use a Kernel with unfixed security issues perhaps over many weeks or months.
My work-around is, that I compile current longterm Kernels of the longterm 5.4 series. But this work-around is not an suggestion for everyone. Compiling a Kernel package about twice a week and manually compiling the NVidia driver (the Tumbleweed Nvidia packages are not compiled automatically, if a non-openSUSE Kernel package is used) is quite expensive.
Since I stated this already, allow me a brief answer: * nothing is blocking 5.9 * you will not miss anything with 5.9, you got with 5.8 nvidia-wise since uvm is disabled since *5.8* anyway In other words, you're about 11 weeks too late, if you really miss something in this regard. If you need CUDA support, reread the thread and watch out for a patch. G04 support is similar, but not identical.
