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.
Manjaro has kernel 4.9 and the latest Nvidia drivers working. 4.9 is where Skylake finally seems to be working correctly. It's worth a download and install. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
