trying to make my tumbleweedOS see my NVidia driver - any suggestions?

I swear I haven't had this issue before, but every time now I install a fresh TumbleweedOS installation, from the get-go, it won't see the nVidia drivers at all. I have tried with a pc with rtx3050 and a pc with gtx1060. Both I had to do "crazy stuff" in terminal, to force it to use my gpu. This is freaking weird. (Haven't been able to fix the 1060 setup yet..)

Any ideers what I do wrong?
