Not at all with the rpms. Nvidia refuses to fix problems unless you report them while using the .run file directly. Read their readme in their server.
I never saw NVidia release a rpm going all the way back to when Christian Zander was their first Linux developer and he an I worked closely to provide patches to drivers for -rc kernels.
That is so. The rpms are prepared by openSUSE people, but published on NVidia servers by their kindness. If there are problems with the rpms, NVidia points people to the openSUSE bug reporting system. NVidia refuses to handle them. They ask people to instead install the .run file, and if the issue is reproducible that way, then report to NVidia.
