I can give Tumbleweed a shot, but pushing back a bit, why are you assuming that nVidia is the cause of the problem I am experiencing?
The combination of Skylake together with "latest Nvidia" loudly suggests "too new for Linux". Skylake seems to have been taking a long time to get support right. IIRC, I've often seen trying a BIOS update to be the first course of action with Skylake trouble, closely followed by newer kernel, the latter often being a formidable obstacle at stable distro release installation time. If TW sounds too unstable to suit you, maybe give Fedora 25 a go until 42.3 is available. It was released with kernel 4.8.8 around the same time as 42.2, is already up to 4.8.14, and will be getting 4.9 automatically before long. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
