    If you want a distro that is good for gaming on desktop I’d still recommend Nobara for now since it is based on fedora and modified by the person behind the glorious eggroll version of proton.

      I prefer Bazzite which is Steam OS like.

        Nobara can mimic it just as well…?

          It’s not Atomic so not newbie friendly like Steam OS.

            Honestly, I don’t find atomic to be newbie friendly. Especially when the majority of guides and how-to’s do not assume an atomic style os.

              The existing guides have not yet caught up with the paradigm shift of atomic distros.

              When I say it’s newbie friendly, it’s because the base system is read-only (only /etc and /var are writable), and updates are only applied if all transactions are successful.

              This paradigm shift requires people to install flatpak applications and command-line applications in distrobox containers.

                Oh, I know. Which can be a pain in the ***. And until the guides and stuff catch up, it’s not newbie friendly now is it?
