Alright, so here's how the story goes.
The last time I tried to get into Linux gaming I intended to use Arch, but had trouble finding an iso file to build a bootable from. I searched for help online and what did the first guy ask me?
"Why would you want to use Arch when Nobara is a "purpose built for gamers" fork of the track record holding fedora distro intended for professional use?"
Keeping in mind that I intend to use the laptop for desktop capture through OBS and possibly light editing through Davinci which I've already got working. Maybe that altered why that particular user suggested the gamified professional distro Nobara instead of Arch, idk.
At the end of the day everyone's got an opinion and a justification for that opinion. I used Nobara because Rufus built the bootable with their iso first time up no fuss. If Arch had been as simple maybe I'd be on that instead.
Haha, can't blame you one bit, asking for distro advice on a linux forum is like asking about tool brands at a cookout.
though now that you have a distro installed, you'll be able to put linux iso on a usb drive using the "restore disk image" function in gnome-disk, way less finicky than rufus.
