Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you're primarily going to be gaming. It's a fork of Fedora by Glorious ~~Eggshell~~ Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.

It. just. works.

v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.

Edit: Wrong Egg-thing

I went with popOS. It's been fantastic.

Side from being really out of date, yeah, it's a good distro. Once they finally finish Cosmic Desktop, I may give it another look.

I moved my gaming system there couple of weeks ago. It really is a nicely packaged system.

I tried Fedora a while ago and this seems like the perfect answer to some or my gripes with it

Thanks for the tip!

Is it possible to dual boot that and keep my existing win 10 install?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That'd be doable. A lot of people would recommend installing it to a separate drive so that windows cant try overwriting boot partitions or anything. Also If its anything like standard fedora I'm sure that windows will still show up as a listing in grub so you won't have to switch boot drives in the bios constantly

Pretty much all this. I do use my OS drive to dual boot both windows and Nobara. Grub does the heavy lifting. Windows plays along fine.
