I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    I wouldn’t recommend Nobara, maybe in a few cases but otherwise it’s not the best to enter into Linux with.

      Totally agree, are difficult to do and require following complex instructions on their Discord server (that you have to pay attention to)

      Would you mind to explain why? I have yet to try it, but the concept seems nice: predisposing a set of tools useful for linux gamers/creators for those who are not technical

        While it has a bunch of patches that can boost gaming performance and such it’s stability takes a hit in some areas. It’s also not quite as user friendly as other options. It can be better for those looking for a fedora base if that’s what they prefer, tho.
        It’s also extremely opinionated & while it’s a great fit for those who have a matching use case, for general uses it’s a bit too opinionated.
        It’s neither the worst, nor the best. It just highly depends on use case.

          I’ve watched a few comparison videos, and the performance gains are negligible when compared to other common distros, so that’s definitely not the point in installing it.

          The good part about nobara is the set of tools that come preinstalled and the wecome program which lets you update the system, the drivers and the codecs.

          Nothing you couldn’t replicate in a few minutes on another distro of course
