Hi,
since you are new to the openSUSE world, here are a few suggestions of mine:

> I'm feeling rather well in openSUSE, but my work is tightly connected with Nvidia GPUs and I can't live without them. Especially, even though most Nvidia software is provided with installation methods for a generic Linux OS, the hard part is about updating and maintaining them at coherent and proper versions (i.e. if Nvidia drivers update, even CUDA version should be checked, etc.)

Nvidia rpm for openSUSE are already available. Check: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
Cuda's rpm for openSUSE are available from NVIDIA too. (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)

> I would like to create Nvidia drivers, CUDA, and NCCL packages in my home: repo. Would this be allowed in packman? In this case, my user is 00sapo, and my mail is the one from where I'm writing. I just submitted a request for a new user.

If your target is to create packages in your home repo, then you can use
openSUSE's OBS. It makes sense to use packman mainly if you are going to
publish packages that cannot be hosted in the default openSUSE's
repositories.

Cheers,
Giacomo
