You get all the superb user-friendliness, modernity, and stability of Fedora, while having your distro be tailored for gaming, if that's what your most intensive computing tasks are as in my case. Somehow it has the best installer dialogue I have ever used (Calamares is incredible and GE did a great job using it for Nobara) and the first time set up was clear, sensible, and with only a couple minor redundancies in the process. After all that, it's just good ol' KDE on Fedora, but with great defaults and preconfigured packages for gaming. It even has its own generalized package manager (Nobara Package Manager) which allows me to easily see and search all the dnf packages on my system, which is honestly a step UP from stock Fedora. I hope to come back to this review in 6 months to either maintain or raise my rating. Was this review helpful?

GNOME is slightly customized and some keyboard shortcuts are not active, some gnome programs cannot be disabled. Lutris works very well. Only note is the not immediate ability to use Stable Diffusion or InvokeAI, the card is recognized but the work is not done. (p.s. A problem found in other distributions except kubuntu 20.04). Fantastic distribution! Those who wish to use it for graphics and games and no doubt a perfect distribution. Was this review helpful?

I loved them all for what they were and what I learned about Linux. Then I tried Fedora, I liked the cinnamon DE so I did that one and I liked it.. but it was a lot of work to setup and get video to play and some games but it was nice to be closer to the current Linux Kernel. I've actually tried Nobara before Fedora but didnt know enough to enjoy it. So I tried it again and after setting up going through all the Fedora setup I see how amazing Nobara is. The ease of setup is incredible. I worry for its long term use but right now where its at I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone beginner or advanced user. The creator/developer on it is a very smart dude and I thank him so much for it! Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 31 reader reviews of Nobara Project...
