    Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you’re primarily going to be gaming. It’s a fork of Fedora by Glorious Eggshell Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.

    It. just. works.

    v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.

    Edit: Wrong Egg-thing

        Side from being really out of date, yeah, it’s a good distro. Once they finally finish Cosmic Desktop, I may give it another look.

        That’d be doable. A lot of people would recommend installing it to a separate drive so that windows cant try overwriting boot partitions or anything. Also If its anything like standard fedora I’m sure that windows will still show up as a listing in grub so you won’t have to switch boot drives in the bios constantly

          Pretty much all this. I do use my OS drive to dual boot both windows and Nobara. Grub does the heavy lifting. Windows plays along fine.

      I tried Fedora a while ago and this seems like the perfect answer to some or my gripes with it

      I moved my gaming system there couple of weeks ago. It really is a nicely packaged system.
