http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ Thank you, Patrick. URL now copied into Bookmarks. The URL above contains a file "latest.txt" with the content:

How could I find out best, which from the drivers is marked as stable:
375.66/ 378.09/ 378.13/ 381.09/ 381.22/ 384.47/
http://www.nvidia.com for "marked as stable"
but any/all may actually be "stable" on your hardware. download them and try. install is simple, "sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.47.run -aqs". I have used each w/o a problem past maybe requiring a patch for which ever kernel was current atm and I have to use "--install-libglvnd" for *my* nvidia box.
It may take weeks to find out. I may notice that my system crashes during hibernation, once every week, say, and reverting the nvidia driver to an older version works. As a rule, I install the first driver that comes with the distribution release, and never update it if it works. Thus, with Leap 42.2 I use Nvidia 340.102. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
