I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn’t get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up…Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

    Fedora has fairly recent kernel versions while being quite reliable. You’ll want somewhat recent kernels for hardware support (especially if you use an AMD or Intel GPU, as drivers are in the kernel itself).

    Use KDE (not GNOME) if you want (better) support for VRR.
