My Experience With Nobara, the Linux Distro For Gamers (?)

So, after spending some time with Nobara Linux, this is what I had to say.

I've been using Nobara for a few months now and I can safely recomend it for People that want to leave Windows.

I've been distro hopping the last 2 weeks, and I was amazed by Nobara, it's not my first Linux experience since I used ubuntu mate almost full time in my old laptop and only switched to windows because I got a gaming rig and wanted to juice that rtx card. But Nobara does a lot of things other distros won't. For starters it was one of the few distros that detected my wifi OOB, all your drives are mounted on startup so you can easily access all your windows files, also video playback is smooth as hell, I tried playing 4k files on the other distros I tried (a bunch of ubuntus, mint, zorin, pop os...) and none could play heavy video files, even after installing nvidia drivers and codecs, Nobara did it flawlessly and as I said almost everything OOB, no tinkering, just installing your favorite apps and enjoy.

There are images of Nobara 39 with Nvidia drivers and Wayland components on their website.

I have an amd card and have had zero issues switching over to nobara from windows. I've had such a nice experience with nobara that I'm never going back to windows.

I tried nobara and I had issues with my usb hard drives, also tried gaming with the witcher 3 wild hunt and world of tanks and the mouse wasn't working. I don't get these issues with linuxmint. I had high hopes with nobara. I might try them again in a year or two years time. Hopefully it would be better by then

help me I can't use my full monitor hertz on whatever Linux version I use I can only set my monitor refreshing rate to 240 when the resolution is set to 1920×1080. if I lower the resolution I am only able to use 60/75hz. whyyyy?

All you need to do to fix your stuttering in Wayland is install the Nvidia 555.42 drivers. I run it like a champ with RTX 4070, Ryzen 7 3700X and 64mg ram on a Samsung 980 pro nvme drive. I use an ultra-wide monitor running 1440p on high to ultra settings

I have been using Nobara 40 for 2 weeks now ditching Windows. I've used it in the past for very short periods of time due to various problems. This last time I decided to format every single one of my SSDs (7 of them total) as BTRFS drives whereas in the past they've all remained as NTFS. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM since the changeover to BTRFS. All of my games run perfect now, in the past hardly a game would run, constant crashing and freezing, etc., etc. I do not miss Windows one bit. I've now put it behind me and I see a great future ahead with Linux whether it's Nobara for a few months, Arch or Zorin. Between Nobara 40 and macOS I have absolutely no need for Windows.

Cause Manjaro is garbage.. The 970 is pretty old, that is what I have on my server.

how? I cant play any games. Not a single one launches not even the once that are told to be native running.
