I ended up with Nobara
As some of you already know I’ve been playing around on a small partition with Linux Mint. Learned basic troubleshooting and fixed some driver issues.
Now I’m very impressed with how it runs and decided to daily Linux and keep Windows for things Linux can’t do. Currently installing Windows on a new small SSD as we speak. (240Gb for the OS plus it’s gonna get a 500GB NTFS partition on my 2TB gaming drive)
This brings me to my question. Which Distro? I’ve narrowed it down to keep using Mint or Fedora KDE Plasma 41. Mint is something I’ve already screwed around with and there’s loads of guides online about it.
But Fedora seems like a better for for me. I’m not afraid of tinkering at all. But as long as I came game and daily it for browsing, emails etc. without too much issues, I’m good.
What’s the consensus? Setting it up tonight after my new W11 install is up and running.
I find endeavor really simple. All the goodness of arch and it just works??? with AUR? Woah! I think you are better off choosing a desktop environmental. That really changes the experience rather than the distro. I am a big time KDE fangirl myself and will thrive on any distro with KdE Plasma on.
Ended up going with Nobara KDE. So far just about everything I’ve tried to do just worked flawlessly.
Why not stay with Nobara KDE? Its nice to have gaming configured out of the box.
I’m not changing anytime soon. I ended up choosing Nobara after this thread ☺️
That is what I started with! Later I found it too unstable and caved in for endeavour. but hey enjoy, I had a great time with it.
