Followup to why you should switch to Nobara Linux. Also, some scripts I’ve compiled for distro hopping the fedora flavors.

First: nice AI gen image. Dude apparently has a weird relationship with mice.

That said:

Maybe, just maybe, my insights could simplify someone else's path into the world of Linux.

I don't think distro hopping would really simplify anyone's path to using Linux, especially not with family members who just want to use computers to get stuff done.

I think it makes a lot more sense to just pick one popular distro, and walk through any issues you have with that. That way you build up a bunch of tips and tricks, instead of just war stories about what sucked on the surface.

That said, thanks for writing about Linux! Honestly anything helps in getting people interested.

Thanks for your input. Part of the reason I'm focusing on Fedora and Fedora derived distros right now is specifically for that reason. To give new people a path to gaming success. Windows 10 and 11 basically proved Microsoft is going to monetize at any cost. Gaming has been the primary reason people stay on Windows, and that isn't necessary anymore.

I think Nobara is the distro for gaming. its easy to use, has a brilliant and supportive discord thats friendly to the new/unknowing, and all the gaming headaches (like steamtinkerlaunch that require compiling from scratch on a certain other popular semi-default distro) are all ready and raring to go, either from the get go, or via a simple and easy tool.

I've been on linux for a relatively short time. only 6ish+ years? hard to remember off the top of my head. and Nobara is legitimately the best experience I've had out of everything I've tried.

Not going to base my personality around or become obnoxious about pushing it, but its definite the most click and go distro for gaming that i've seen.
