Hello. I would like to switch to Linux, but I also want to play. I have seen that all the games I play can be played on Linux with no problem. But I’m not sure about the distro. I have seen that Nobara is a good option, but before taking the plunge, I would like to know what your experience has been with it. Thank you

    I am running Nobara for the past month and I absolutely love it. Its out of the box experience is pretty great. But you would expect it from the Team behind the Glorious Eggrolls Proton Patches, right?

    It has the Gnome Shell Desktop which may not be super user tweakable but it looks very concise and beautiful nontheless.

      Thank you very much, I am calmer with experiences like yours. But in my case I want to use KDE.

        Nobara comes with a “desktop selector” which allows to make Gnome Shell look a bit more like Windows (10/11), Unity, Gnome 2, MacOS or default Gnome Shell. And if you like the package you have with Nobara, you can always install the KDE desktop alongside Gnome Shell. At the login screen you can then select which Desktop System you want to boot :)

        There is a KDE ISO for Nobara. Scroll down on the download page.

        Official ISO is Gnome + extensions for GE’s personal workflow, Gnome is base Gnome, KDE is base KDE, Steam Deck Edition is, well, like SteamOS (boots into gamescope-session by default then switch to desktop to go KDE)
