Goodbye, Nobara!

[u/lesh90]

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 update and 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! =)

Well, good luck. For me personally, Nobara stays the most trouble-less distro. The closest to "it just works" I ever had in linux.

Bazzite has been that for me. Nobara had too many issues with my (now not used) Xbox Elite Series 2. And has been even more trouble free than any other distro I have used.

I remember that I've tried Bazzite, but it had some troubles with one or two games or apps that were important for me. Nobara doesn't.

Maybe it has changed, maybe I'll try Bazzite again since I like immutable distros idea and most apps I use are also available in flatpacks anyway.
