Linux Gaming

I haven't played with it. However, I can say it is based on Fedora which is a good distro and Glorious Egg roll himself, besides working at Red Hat, is the creator of the Glorious Egg Roll version of the Proton compatibility layer.

Edit: stupid button, hit before I was finished. Besides the GE proton version, he does a lot of other enhancements to make Nobara more gamer friendly so it should be a relatively good distro to use because he knows the system better than most average Linux users and so provides the enhancements out of the box for gamers that want to game.

If you know what you are doing, the enhancements can be added to Fedora easily. But if you just want to setup and play immediately, Nobara is the way to go.

I don't use the full distro but I do run the kernel in Garuda and it works like a charm. As others have said, the developer, GloriousEggroll, is super trustworthy as he develops the GE-Proton compatibility package. Plus you can never really go wrong with Fedora.

I am running Nobara for the past month and I absolutely love it. Its out of the box experience is pretty great. But you would expect it from the Team behind the Glorious Eggrolls Proton Patches, right?

It has the Gnome Shell Desktop which may not be super user tweakable but it looks very concise and beautiful nontheless.

I use it on my laptop. I had some issues with Fedora 37 and the nvidia / hybrid graphics and i couldnt get some games to default to the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one. It was probably fixable, but it was a fresh install anyways so i gave Nobaru a shot. Zero issues, works great.

I still use Fedora on my desktop. It has an AMD GPU, and ive never had issues with it. Going on three years now i think.

Most popular Linux distributions will work great for gaming, Nobara (based on Fedora) included. It’s a great option, and one I can recommend. A lot of the more tedious work, that should be done with Fedora, is done for you. What’s more debatable is whether you go for Gnome (more like Mac’s OSX) or KDE (more like Windows), but that’s personal preference, not relating to gaming. Make sure to try them both, before you move to something else (or back to Windows). They’re both great, but very different options.

I use the KDE version on my main gaming computer and it's great. Fast, gaming is awesome, all my apps like Discord work without issue.

Overall, I love it.

I use Nobara KDE for over a year and I really like how everything is ready for gaming/streaming. There are some minor issues from time to time(ex. problems with updates) but GloriousEggroll posts news on his discord and website docs what to do with that.

Only distribution I tried where hip was working out of the box.

Here is a video comparing Nobara and Fedora. Not sure if it would be very helpful, but it may show what Nobara is changing. https://youtu.be/5eKSQT5mV-c

Also 3 months ago, so maybe some elements have changed slightly.

Been using the Nobara Official for almost a year and very hapy with it. Have been abke to run all the games i play, even including Star Citizen.

I have an AMD gpu so everything worked straight away after install.
