I have a flatmate who is making the switch from windows 10 to linux and I Fedora is a distro that I trust to provide a good stable experience. I however use Nobara which comes with all the gaming related tweaks already done. I dont want to recomend Nobara because its package management is intuitive.

The changes i think I need to make is, remove fedora flatpak store. Enable non free software repo. Install proprietary nvidia driver. Install steam, wine, lutris, heroic store.

Is there anything that is required for a smooth Fedora gaming experience?

+1 for uBlue (Aurora, Bazzite).

Everything you want and need is already set up for you, and the OS is just in the background for your games and other software to run on. No need to install any codecs, or even updating it, because it's already done for you. And if something breaks, then you can just roll back in seconds.

Very user friendly.

I’ve been toying with Linux since 2011 and this is the first easy no maintenance Linux. I’ve been running it for a year and a half without any needs to reset or urge to distro hop
