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.

I'm pretty happy with Nobara at the moment, but if I hopped at this point it'd probably be to CachyOS

Nobara user here too. Glorious Eggroll was defending Lutris dev for using AI & the Nobara exclusive wallpapers right now are AI generated by GE.

I personally plan to distro hop after reading GE's post. AI bubble can't pop if these people are actively supporting and using them.

I mean I don't think he is wrong entirely, but wasn't he Lutris guy also VERY hostile to criticism? And just AI generated wallpapers is where I absolutely will draw the line. Just don't have any then, use the Fedora stock ones. Use a black screen. Everything is better than slop.
