How best for me to go forward troubleshooting? I am using the G05 series driver here.
You are becoming quite proficient in knowing where to look for the driver rpms. You will be an expert before long. (practice makes perfect :)
I tried again, was able to download the 7 .rpm files for G05 here: > https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/
Then switched into directory containing the files and passed 'zypper in -f *.rpm' . After powercycling the machine, machine is able to now reach graphical target using 6.11.0-1-default kernel. Is this possibly poor security sensibility by going and just downloading the files without a checksum or trusted key?
No, you are fine, there was a time before trusted keys, etc.. The https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ is the official repo, so if you can't trust what you download there -- there isn't much you can trust. (the packages are built by openSUSE and hosted by nvidia)

-Thank you once again and best wish to you.
No, this looks good and I'm really glad you are up and running. The only time you need to change to another repo, like liguros/ or my branch of that repo is when the download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ repo doesn't keep up with a kernel or other system change (like gcc-14, etc..). I don't know why it took 2 months for download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ to be updated for the 6.10 kernel (and then rebuilt against gcc-14) -- that was just bizarre and hopefully was a one-off and not the usual to be expected. The good news is things should be pretty stable until the 6.12 kernel is released around the end of the year. There has been a long history of nvidia difficulties in Linux. Just google "Linus and nvidia" (yes, as in Torvalds). However, things are looking better for the future with the open-source effort. That's not to say things are great, it isn't all open-source, but there is much more collaboration than there has been in the past from a driver standpoint. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
