Because Nathan switched to Linux and according to the terms and conditions you need to announce that to the world.
It's just another human being wanting to communicate to others something they found interesting and enguaging, you don't need to read it (indeed you probabally didn't since you are ignoring these sort of posts, which is totally fine and your own decision). Your preference not to read these sort of titles does not mean other peeople do not want to, or, in fact, that those same people are interested reading your views on the topic - live and let live, just don't be rude about it.
This is not a way to communicate, this is a click bait by creating fomo by saying "look at me, I'm using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you're missing out" Fuck that shit
On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article's contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.
The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.
“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”
It doesn't say you "must" use some alternative. Necessity isn't implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don't miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren't just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.
If you're going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that's just childish.
Let's agree to disagree :) You have a very different view thank mine and it's OK. Clickbate to me means that the title tries to make you click on the article by all means, either by fake news, fomo, being misleading or vogue etc..
He doesn't say that you must change and everybody uses it but implies it. By saying that he as an influencer changes it and making you feel like you're doing something wrong that you should change to what he suggests.
I'm not saying that he doesn't have solid arguments (maybe he does I wouldn't know) but these types of titles is making me crazy
You wouldn't be a Linux user if you wouldn't preach your distro of choice harder than any Mormon, Jehovah's Witness or influencer would ever sell their shit.
But if you don't do it, they manipulated you too by NOT making what they say. It's hard to be an independent individual sometimes, right?!
Nobara seems fine for fedora, but if you want to try Arch, then Garuda is for gaming use, I personally use EndeavourOS.
Linux is a trip of making one change and bricking your system, easily rolled back.
What changes does Garuda make that aren't good for general use?
His aim was gaming use, which is why I recommended Garuda for it.
With EndeavourOS you have to tinker a bit more with the OS to get everything compatible with gaming.
Is there a reason why Endeavour would not prefer those changes? Or is it just a matter of focus, resources, security?
I believe EndeavourOS aims to be as close to pure arch as they can be, while still making it a more user friendly experience.
Garuda is what you'd call "bloat", but for gaming it's useful bloat.
Not switching to nobara unless it gets a cool distro icon in neofetch.
Why I switched to Garuda Linux on my gaming PC and Why You Should Too: it's awesome, and if you wanna be MegaChad like me, do it.
It's switch to nobara, if fedora didn't work so well... Install xanmod kernel on fedora and you've got a "budget nobara"
