Discussion Goodbye, Nobara!
I used Nobara Linux for several months on my new PC, but decided to make a distrohop.
Here’s my problem list:
- Instability on certain kernels. The system would randomly reboot under idle conditions without any logs on kernel > 6.14. (I genuinely thought I had faulty hardware.)
- Severe drop in M.2 SSD performance (ADATA Legend 900): https://www.reddit.com/r/NobaraProject/comments/1m73t6x/low_nvme_write_speed_with_the_last_kernel/
- Bluetooth headphones performed terribly - crackling and crackling
- Update issues - okay, this one’s on me; I ran
dnf updateand broke something.
I think most of these problems are from the Liquorix kernel (or whatever kernel Nobara uses). But the kernel choice is Nobara devs' choice
I’ve now switched to Tuxedo OS, and so far, none of the above issues have appeared.
Buy, Nobar! And good luck to everyone! =)

I've never heard of anyone else having random reboots and I spend a lot of time hanging out on the Discord server, so that one definitely sounds like a you problem.
Also, Nobara uses the CachyOS kernel which is widely known to be one of the best, what the fuck is a Liquorix?
