It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

yeah last week I tried Nobara again after not using it for several months. wanted the KDE Plasma 6.6 update. nope. GE hadn't done the monthly sync yet. when is the monthly sync? whenever he feels like it. Sorry I can't use a distro that's based on the whims of one guy. don't get me wrong I like GE, I like his Protons, but Nobara needs a team behind it.
