I have moved a hard disk containing openSUSE Leap 15.5 from one laptop to the other. The two laptops are from two different manufacturers. The OS runs fine on the new laptop. But there are some glitches here and there. How can I make sure that the OS drivers are compatible with the new laptop? ### Note Previously, I had the experience of moving a hard disk containing Windows 10 between laptops. After the move, I had to update the device drivers on Windows according to the new hardware. I'm basically looking for an equivalent approach to openSUSE. I'm not sure, does it make sense? # UPDATE A glitch example was the freezing of the monitor when connecting a 2nd display by HDMI cable. Now this glitch is resolved by itself. I'm not sure why. Maybe a reboot or app restart resolved the problem.
