From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well opensuse only ships open source driver and that can be an issue with some nivida cards. That said you can install you own drivers
There's a semi official repository that's there just for that which everyone enables just after installation (it's even a preset in Yast). So it's not an issue at all. You can use all the standard stuff without any problems.
