Well, the linked post doesn't show how to blacklist because it was
created after the fact (author forgot to re-build initramfs). For an
example of doing that you can refer e.g. this
https://askubuntu.com/a/110343/266507 Except I am not sure how to
rebuild initramfs on SuSe — on Archlinux I'm using it is `sudo
mkinitcpio -p linux`.

Nothing that I know of. You'd obviously get a lower graphics
performance, but otherwise I think it should be fine.
